Ben joined our stair group today and beat us all with a best time of 18:06...5 seconds faster than Alex's previous best of 18:11. I trailed Lisa for 3 or 4 sets and she got hypoxic because I was using up all the air around us and she never recovered from that. I was running scared the entire way trying to stay ahead of Stephanie and this was her very first shot at the stairs. She was not very far behind me and Mike took off a minute from his last time. After we finished we all did box jumps up the bleacher seats...no problem for the first 10, then it got hard and soon after that impossible. Will and Ben are very good at that. Set my heart on fire and I saw the sparklies at the top. Frisko Freeze after that and a discussion about Mt. Si. Mt Si is a 4000 foot climb over a 4 mile set of steep switch backs. We're going to go tackle that soon.
