Tower on steroids

Thanks to Walsh and CT for sending me this picture, and the following information to go with this picture, courtesy of Walsh:

I wanted to share with you a picture that I thought you would like. You might recognize these tired looking lads as Matt "Walsh" Walsh and Matt "CT" Szymaszek, former residents of Gartland D4...God knows how long ago that was. . . ...What's that? What could have made these two young men, both in shape and entering the prime of their lives, so beautifully delirious?

THIS! (Click link for some crazy thing called the Manitou Incline, in Colorado, where CT currently lives and where Walsh was visiting this past week).

This was like Tower on steroids! We were only able to "run" for 1 minute and 12 seconds, and then only in 15 step bursts after that. Apparently, Apolo Anton Ohno has the record for the ascent in something nonsensical like 18 minutes...yeah, we weren't even halfway at that point. I thought it would make you happy to know that we chose to rep our program as we toiled our way to the top and grimaced through a photo opportunity.

Yes INDEED. Always happy to see my boys repping Marist around the globe and at all altitudes …
