Preamble:

Opening Ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympics are later today.  I smell a beatdown theme.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to dam for Willie Mays Hayes, SSH, Imperial Walkers, Weed Pickers, arm circles and Michael Phelps who happens to have the most individual golds in Olympic history (23).

The Thang:

Head over to the tennis courts that happened to be lit.  Must be a good sign. I am avoiding False Start's mistake of copyright infringement of Townie's "Johnny McEnroe" name so today we are doing the "4x100" (4 courts, 100 reps each court) which is one of my favorite Olympic Events.  Shoutout to the World Record holders, Jamaica, who ran a 36.84 second 4x100 in 20212. Court 1: 20 LBC's at each of the 5 lines Court 2: 20 Plankjacks at each of the 5 lines Court 3: 20 Overhead claps at each of the 5 lines Court 4: 20 single lunges at each of the 5 lines.  Return to "home" after each line for 10 merkins. Shoutout to Javier Sotomayor of Cuba for still holding the world record in the high jump (since 1993) at 8' 1/4".  We average about a 6" vertical so 16 Bobby Hurley's get us to 8' of vertical jumping. Shoutout to Mike Powel of the US for his 1991 World Record in the long jump at 29' 4.25". Burpee broadjump across the tennis court. Shoutout to Usain Bolt for his 8 gold medals, winning the 100/200 sprints in 3 straight Olympics, and still holding 3 WR's.  A round of Bolt 45's (like Colt 45's but squats). Shoutout to Wayde van Niekerk of S Africa for the World Record in the 400m at 43.03 seconds.  Lap around the parking lot (not at WR pace). 5 Big Boys for each of the countries in the top 5 of gold medals won in history.  Reduce by 5 for each country guessed.  PAX got 4 of the 5 so only 5 Big Boys were needed.  

COT:

MMRR at False Start's next Monday (6am) One more week of summer hours at the Jammer School of Rock moving to Mondays the week that school starts Need 2 more for BRR.  It is FUN dammit.  FUN. (Bring your own wipes)

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks for playing along.  I believe the podium for the 4x100 was Stu (gold), Cookie (silver) and Diva (bronze).  Medals are in the mail.
