1504 Stairs actually really hurts lol.
Bit random guys but i ran up the Sydney tower today in the annual "Sydney tower run up"
Hadn't done any stair training for it which was an epic error.
I did it in 15min 16seconds and my boss did it in 14min 6seconds.
The record for the day was by a "pro stair runner" from Germany. Did it in 7min 04 seconds lol, nut job.
Was absolute torture but i cant wait until next year! I got to the top and my lungs/throat were on fire. I thought i was going to pass out and or spew all over the show.
Awesome day.
Just a few photos.

Once i got to the top.. not a happy chappy.
Simon (my boss) looking way to happy for whats about to happen to him haha.

They do it with the Sky Tower in Aucklands too. The fire department even do a annual run whilst being fully kitted up.
Good job though Ben.
