A PAX of five gathered in the rain at Pouncey Tract Park for GridIron. Moist mosey from the parking lot to the adjacent football field for startup COP. Minutes into our warmup, our sixth member arrived, having completed a pre-workout run. Warmup with 25 x SSHs, 20 x IWs, 15 x DQs, 15 x Helicopters, 10 x Suzanne Somers (each side), and 10 x Arm Circles (big only, forward then back).

Relocate to the nearby picnic pavilion for six man Dora. Two guys run while four complete reps, collectively working through 300 Merkins, 400 Squats, and 500 SSHs.

Longer mosey across the park and past the newest Pickleball courts to another picnic shelter for a Lindsay involving Dips and Step Ups. Move to the Pull Up bars for a round of Flexed Arm Hangs (held Pull Up) with rotating count. Start with two second hold and add two more seconds each time. Made it around past 14 seconds, finishing with a free form, last-man-holding round.

Jog back through the park and across the footbridge to the new playground area. Find a spot on the new rubberized surface for 10 minutes of LBCs – completing a called number of LBCs and finish with a few seconds of rest before the next round. Fifty reps in rounds 1 and 2, 60 reps in rounds 3 through 8, 70 reps in round 9, and 75 reps in round 10. Dead cockroach between most rounds, but feet down after rounds 3, 6, and 9.

Figurative slide to the nearby picnic pavilion (third such stop for the morning) for partner rotation with Abyss Merkins and Invisible Jump Ropes. One man starts with 5 Abyss Merkins while the other completes 20 Invisible Jump Ropes. Each man in each team completes both exercises. Retaining Jack Webb-inspired ratio, complete 6 and 24 in round 2, and so on until 10 and 40 completed.

Return to the parking lot and assemble at the side of the concession building for final partner rotation. One man starts with one Burpee and holds a Plank while the other man completes 10 Donkey Kicks. Complete three rotations.

Finish on the wet ground of the football field with 30 x APDs under Attila’s cadence. COT in place and Attila took us out.
