True Grit – Swinging for the Fences

Event Date

Jan 09, 2016


Four Isotope faithful crawled out of the dugout to play ball this morning.

Begin by moseying around the parking lot, mixing in some carioca, butt kickers and backwards running.

 

COP:

  • Mountain Climbers x 15
  • SSH x 15
  • Man Maker Merkins x 15
  • IST x 15
  • Diamond Merkins x 15
  • Squat x 15
  • Carolina Dry Docks x 15
  • Lunges x 15

The Workout:

Each corner of the parking lot was a base, each about 100 yds apart.  PAX picked a chip out of cup telling them what their hit was.  All PAX had to complete exercises at each base and then return to home for next batter.  Exercises at each base were as follows.

  • First base – 10 pullups
  • Second base – 20 block overhead presses
  • Third base – 30 merkins
  • Home plate – 40 burpees
  • Strikeout – 10 burpees

The PAX batted around the order twice with the following results.

  • 2 strikeouts
  • 2 singles
  • 3 doubles
  • 1 triple

Total exercises ended up as:

  • 20 burpees
  • 60 pullups
  • 80 block overhead presses
  • 30 merkins
  • about 2.5 miles of running

Next some quick fun before returning blocks

  • 20 curls
  • 20 squats
  • 20 curls
  • 20 squats

Mary:

  • LBC x 25
  • Low Flutter x 25
  • Low Dolly x 15
  • Rosalita x 15
  • Elbow Plank

Moleskin:

  • Great to see Grinch and Chestnut out there, it has been a while.  Always good to see Ty Webb, a True Grit regular.
  • Good hard work put in by the PAX today, arms and shoulders are already feeling it.
  • No big hitters in the PAX today, kept it to mostly singles and doubles.  The couple of homeruns never got pulled.  Maybe we'll go to extra innings next time.

An honor and privilege to be part of your group.
