STRONG AND HUMBLE At Captain Crossfit, a gym near the firehouse where the Hotshots were stationed, Travis Carter was known as the strongest one on the crew - but also the most humble. "No one could beat him," trainer Janine Pereira said. "But the thing about him was he would never brag about it. He would just kill everyone and then go and start helping someone else finish." Carter, 31, was famous for once holding a plank for 45 minutes, and he was notorious for making up brutal workouts. The crew recently did a 5-mile run during wilderness training. He then made them go to Captain Crossfit in the afternoon for another hard workout. "The other guys who came in here always said that even though he was in charge, he was always the first one at the fire, the first one in action," Pereira said.
