It's all upstairs from here
Come climb with us!CrossFit Eastside has a team of folks who will be rockin' the stairwells of the Columbia Center tower in downtown Seattle on March 19, 2006, as part of the annual Big Climb to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Specs:
- 69: flights
- 19: steps per flight
- 1,311: total steps
- 788: feet of vertical elevation
- 1,000: dollars we aim to raise to fight blood cancers
- 11: minimum pairs of fried CrossFitter thighs once the deed is done
To join us (c'mon, it'll be fun!), register by March 13.
Or, if cleaning behind the refrigerator with a Q-Tip sounds like a more appealing way to spend your Sunday, but you still want to support us and leukemia/lymphoma research, you can pledge online for the team or any of the individuals (use the "Select Member Page" drop-down menu at the top of the page).
Beats pumping away on a StairMaster while watching CNN!
Good luck on the climb Crossfit Eastside! As a long time competitor in the Firefighter challenge, I have a couple of tips for you. The first is do not go out too fast. Pick up the pace later in the game if you still have it and remember to pull with the arms the stairwells are very narrow. If you have, the leg length double stepping will definitely improve your time. Get your Crossfit attitude on and fly up that tower! Oh ya and most important remember to take in that great view at the top and don't let Duggins beat ya.
