Mosey back to Start
I snatched the opportunity to Q The Goat at nearly the 11th hour, saving Bubba Sparxxx and countless innocent Pax from having to deal with an awkward situation. Here’s how it went down.
Started out with SSH, Hillbilly walkers, Goofballs (each 10xIC). Moseyed down 8th Ave towards Riverside Park with a few stops along the way:
– 22 merkins OYO at the statue at the corner of the main square
– Wall-sit air presses under the bridge (20xIC)
– American Hammers on Mayflower Street (20xIC)
Upon arriving at the park, surprise! We just happened to find 2 basketballs and a bluetooth speaker (that immediately paired to my phone – wow, what are the chances?). Clearly we had to make use of these items, so we circled up at center court and I explained the rules:
– Split into two teams.
– 5 reps of a chosen exercise “buys” a shot from the free throw line or beyond.
– Any Pax can do the exercise and it counts as a rep. Any Pax can shoot after a the shot is earned with the 5 reps.
– Count up how many made shots at the end of the song.
First song = We Will Rock You. Exercise = Burpees. I joined “Team 1” with Gavel, Orangeman, Eh Y’all, Freon, and Bos. Gavel sunk a few buckets to make our score respectable, but otherwise Team 1 tossed enough bricks to build a house and lost 9-5. I didn’t watch closely, but Anchorman seemed to spend a lot of time at the free throw line for Team 2.
Next song = We are the Champions. Exercise = Makhtar Ndiaye’s. Gavel got a hot hand and redeemed Team 1 with a 13-something win for Round 2.
Next song = Eye of the Tiger. Exercise = Bobby Hurleys. Both teams found a groove, and we tied 15-15. It wasn’t in the plan, but we had to do one more to determine the winning team.
Tie-breaker song = Lithium (Nirvana). Exercise = Heels to Heaven. Up to this point, I hadn’t made a single shot in 6 or 8 attempts, but Gavel graciously gave me another shot. I made the first two in a row and drained several more as Gavel, Orangeman and I scored 23 for the win. Without taking a single shot at the goal, Eh Y’all was Team 1 MVP for grinding out exercises like a workhorse every single round. To celebrate, we circled up for a round of 10 Makhtar Ndiaye’s in cadence, then headed back towards the flag with a few stops along the way:
– American Hammers on Mayflower Street (20xIC)
– Wall-sit air presses under the bridge (20xIC)
– 22 merkins OYO at the statue at the corner of the main square
There was lots of time left, so we did a Triple Nickel on the hill between the fire station and Mayworth’s: Monkey humpers and CDD’s.
3 minutes of Mary took us to the end, just as a handsome and un-sweaty man with a large perfectly groomed poodle joined our COT as if he had been there the whole time. It wasn’t weird at all…

YHC is a bit late in this backblast, so apologies to all.
After the warm-up, moseyed to the bottom of Eagle Park at Lexington/Blueberry for a modified Dora. Partner up per usual, but none of that 100/200/300 crap where everyone has poor form… no, just AMRAP until your partner returns.
P1 runs up Lexington, 1/2 up do 10 LBCs, at the top do 5 burpees, run back down to relieve P2. Meanwhile, P2 is performing the required exercise. Bottom of the hill exercises were diamond merkins, squats, and WWIs.
Mosey back to the flag for Mary.
