*It is the athlete’s choice to run or row at the beginning, and then do the other at the end. Athletes use only one bar. The weight needs to be changed to match each lift.

The workout is symbolic of the US terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The 2001 meter row and run represent the year of the attacks. The 11 Reps of 9 exercises represent the date. Even the weights have meaning. The 125 lb Thrusters represent the number of deaths that occurred at the Pentagon. The 175 lb Power Clean symbolizes AA Flight 175 that hit the South Tower. The 170 lb Dead Lift is symbolic of Flight 77 and Flight 93 combined. The 110 lb Push Jerks represent the number of floors in each tower of the World Trade Center buildings that were attacked.

    Ok NTFSARAH:

    Even though I PRed I made a mistake on weights and had I not done that I would have been a minute faster at least. I loaded the bar to 98# for the cleans. Did 9 cleans and then realized it. Had to reload bar to 118# and start over on cleans. 😡

    Ran first at 9:36 pace (only way for me to do this WOD is to run first)
    All movements UB but singles on the 20 cleans. Ha!

    Rowed at about a 2:15 pace.

    Next year beat Jimmy’s PR! 😉

    Ran first. This was slower than 2 yrs ago. Wasn’t feeling great today.

    Run took 14:20ish and did it first. May try switching next time.

    Next time wear running shoes for run.
