I conquered the CN Tower today!
Along with my Dad and two of his employees, we were up before the sun was shining to climb one of the world's largest free-standing structures, as a way to show our support for the WWF, and to mostly just be able to say that we climbed the CN tower!
It took me 27 minutes and 5 seconds to climb 1,776 stairs, 144+ flights and 1,135 ft.
I am exhausted.
Plus I have bronchitis, so it made the climb THAT much more painful.
Honestly, I have never felt so much pain in my chest and throat before, never-mind the intense burning of lactic acid in my calves and thighs.
Will I do it again? No.
Weeeelllll I suppose I could be convinced (as long as I don't have bronchitis). And I'm sure by the time the next climb rolls around, I'll be right back up there.
It certainly is a rewarding feeling.
