Grid Iron relocated to Lake Anna and had our first of hopefully many more events there. After a brief warm up we hit 4 stations for 3 rounds of 20 of: Dips, Dirkins, Pole Smokers and Steps Ups. BiProduct came by boat with J’ville and WhiteDeer, but for some reason they couldn’t make it out of the boat for the first round…so we did a second round. Then to the beach for a series of Abs, Merkins, and Swimming/Kayaking/Padeling. We kept the Fitness part short this morning and then had coffee and carbs in the parking lot before hitting the…

14 Pax said “It is humid. It is hot. Should I go to Gridiron? Why not?”. COP: DQs, Jazzercise, Invisible jump ropes, merkins, MCs, LBCs. Mosey run with merkins. This is where we found out that despite his size Tater has quite the high decibel yell. The intent was to jog and then do 10 merkins when called. Some of the PAX had trouble hearing me so Tater took his degree from the school of the hard of hearing to yell “Down”. Two instances of this bellowing cry was heard from many a pickleballer causing temporary panic amongst them. Ended…
