The BackBlast:

Intro:

Spaceballs may not post at The Paragon anymore, but he left us a gem that to this day no one has ever completed. There’s a good reason to, it’s insane

This year, however, the PAX had other plans…..

Warm-o-Rama:

Ain’t nobody got time for this

The Thang:

The goal of Barkley is of course 5 laps. Since the start of the Barkley Marathon in 1995 there have only been 18 finishers with 0 finishers for the 2018 AND 2019 races. Surely, the men of the Paragon will fare better….

3 – wind sprints of 10 bus lanes

Run around the school to the top of the parking lot and perform 10x Monkey Humpers

Run down the hill and and back up 3 times, performing 10x Monkey Humpers at the bottom and the top (total of 60x Monkey Humpers)

Run through the parking lot to the base of the stairs and perform 5x Lunges (Kodiak Count)

Run up the stairs 3 times, performing 5x Lunges (Kodiak Count) at the top and the bottom (total of 30x Lunges/per leg)

Run around the school and back to the start and perform 40x box jumps on the retaining wall

Lap 1 complete

Rinse and repeat until time expires or in the unlikely event, you finished (SPOILER ALERT: no one finished)

COT:

Name-0-rama, 6th Man (Bagger), praises, and prayers.

Happy Birthday to Bagger!

Naked Man Moleskin:

Well, 2021 has been a great year for Panhandle. The guy has been crushing races, beatdowns, you name it, all year. It’s only fitting that he crushes the Barkley with 3 minutes to spare! Kiffin, despite all the complaining about the Barkley, finished it 5 seconds to spare. What a morning.

Despite feeling like hot garbage and having little to no motivation to post, I’m glad for the push from the PAX here as it is just what I needed. Seriously, I can’t think of a better way to start the day then connecting with you men. I appreciate each and every one of you. Merry Christmas and until next time.

SYITG!
