It was a bone chilling morning at The Goat. YHC arrived early at the back lot to lay down some things to do, and headed to the start where eight other HIMS were braving the cold.

At 5:30 sharp, we said the pledge, did a warm-up (SSH, hillbillies, etc.), and moseyed to the island. Across the bridge we went, just no regular moseying (bear crawl, lunge walk mostly). Once across, we continued with our non-moseying ways with skipping, karaoking, and nurring, eventually making it the back lot where the thang was awaiting.

THE THANG – Touchdown Beatdown

YHC had placed 5 different exercises approximately 10 yards apart before the workout. BOS introduced Gashouse to the Touchdown Beatdown at the Goat last year, so YHC borrowed it for this morning. The TD BD goes like this: Bear crawl from the goal line to the 10 yard line, do 10 reps of the first exercise, run to the 20, do 20 reps of the second exercise, run to 30 for 30 reps, to the 40 for 40, the 50 or 50, then back down to the other 10 yard line and bear crawl to the goal line. In the regular TD BD, you run back to the start, rinse and repeat. However, YHC changed it up to just a reverse.

Called exercises were Apolo Ohno’s x10 (count 1 leg), Merkins x20, Big Boys x30, sumo jump squats x40, and Six Shooters x50 (25 shots at each foot). The Pax pushed hard, teams stayed together, and two full rounds were completed. A few Omaha’s were called as we started round three. YHC needed his stones back that were holding the exercises down, so cold, gloved hands struggled, but succeeded at getting everything cleaned up. Time was very short, so the Pax moseyed back to the flag, with YHC loaded down with the rocks, just enough time (actually over by a minute) for 5 burpees for the train.
