2nd Annual Colon Memorial Challenge: Results

2010-04-11T17:29:00.000-07:00

Well, the video is taking a bit longer than I though to get posted. Some of the files are either too big or I'm too much of an idiot to figure it out. In the meantime, here are the official results:

1st - Tucker (67)
2nd - Jackel (64)
3rd - Stern (62)
4th - Pat (55)
5th - Rubin (53)
6th - The Bomb (51)
7th - Erik (47)
8th - BT (35)

A few things to note for when the video gets up. #1) Tim Lujan's form is impeccable. His 35 may have been the least amount, but they are the most legit. #2) My form is easily the worst of the bunch. It appears as if my lower back has structurally collapsed, or I am trying to hump the pavement. #3) You should all be proud of your accomplishments. You no longer have to guess how many push-ups you can do...you know have a firm number form which to build upon the next time we drink too much or someone has an organ surgically removed. Stay tuned for the video!

2nd Annual Colon Memorial Challenge

2010-04-11T16:06:00.000-07:00

This year's challenge on April 10, 2010 was also the first officially sanctioned Johnson Family Push-Up contest. Although not all of the Johnson's were able to be represented, we had enough participation to log the results into the eternal realm of the internet.

Although the initial Grand Prize was to be a box of Push-Up Popsicles, that was soon "upgraded" to a fabulous trophy more fitting to the occasion. Many thanks to Dad (The Doug) for his vision and hard work in bringing this artwork into existence.

The gathering took place at Lake Mission Viejo on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. The full list of participants consisted of Tucker, Pat, The Bomb, BT Sr., Jackel, Rubin, Stern, and myself. Cicciarella graciously agreed to act as the official judge. The following posts will be videos of the actual results, in order from most push ups to least. If you would like to jump to my results, feel free to skip down to the bottom of the pack...

Unsportsmanlike Conduct

2009-04-10T16:18:00.000-07:00

In an offensive display of raw power, Tucker Johnson again added to his Johnson family bench press record with a press today of 365. He already had the record before, but became impatient waiting for Pat to make a run at it as Pat seemed to focus more on "losing weight" lately. The move to add to the previous weight was seen by many in the sports community as "running up the score" and "somewhat unsportsmanlike".

The day was especially special for Tucker as today marked the 1 year anniversary of him losing his colon due to a battle with Ulceritic Colitis. Also announced was Tucker's retirement from competitive weightlifting. Best wishes to Pat Johnson as he pursues his own personal white whale, the Johnson family bench press record.

St. Patty's 10K

2009-03-15T10:16:00.000-07:00

We did it! Trish and I ran the San Diego St. Patty's 10k on March 14th. I came in at just over 1 hour - I beat my 5K record with a ten minute mile pace. What a great feeling. Next up...more 10K's and a possible half marathon before this year is over.

Pat Johnson taken down a rung

2009-02-16T08:23:00.000-08:00

Just like the greatest stories of all time, the one about Lake Mission Viejo, or the time Pat rode his bicycle into the hot tub, another saga was written this Saturday past. Tucker Johnson crushed the Johnson family bench press record when he pressed 355.

Sorry Pat. Perhaps you should have looked in the mirror to see that you were not going to hold that record very long. You felt the footsteps and all the Sales Training in California couldn't help you hold on to your little record.

Behold, now, all of you, what the prophets and oracles referred to as "he". I will haunt the dreams of you and your children till the day that the sun no longer rises in the East. Never again shall knaves and boors and louts be lonely as their equal, Pat, has returned to their ranks!

Another 5k

2009-01-31T09:11:00.001-08:00

Erik and I are shaping up for another 5k on Super Bowl Sunday. We're even draggin' my mom and sister along for the ride. Practice for the big game: 10k in March.

:-)

The Balls of MY Feat

2008-12-30T10:50:00.000-08:00

I've lost 4lbs. Hooray! I hope never to find it again. Think this 5k thing is shaping up to be a good deal. Thanks, Pat!

Greetings Fatbodies!

I hope that you are ready to put your money where your mouth is. We are going to establish the family fitness records once and for all so that they can be appreciated for how pathetic they really are. Here are the major categories that are currently in dispute:

Most push-ups
Most bench press
Fastest sprint
Fastest run
Fastest swim

Mostly these are in dispute because they have not been defined. There might be other categories as well that should be listed, so put down whatever you think should be added. We'll have the 2009 awards next Thanksgiving.
