Another strong showing of 17 PAX at the 6th edition of the young Dante’s Peak workout in Apex. YHC caught a little ribbing for the low-key announcement of “1 minute” at 5:44am. OK, not the first time. 5:45 arrives, now my turn to try to suppress the mumble chatter. Let’s see how it went…
Warmup
- Short jog to the middle of the soccer field
- 20 SSH
- 20 Hillbillies
- 20 MC
- 15 Chilcutt Peter Parkers
The Thang
Soccer field beast (6 laps, 6 stops per laps, 6 reps of an exercise per stop)
- Lap 1: Burpees
- Lap 2: Tuck Jumps
- Lap 3: Makhtar N’Diayes
- Lap 4: Jump Lunges
- Lap 5:Freddie Mercuries
- Lap 6: Diamond Merkins
Fellowship run through the sand volleyball courts (possible foreshadowing to a future workout?) and stop at the base of the grass hill (more foreshadowing?). Continue on through the basketball court (avoiding the chain link fence), along the paved trail to the pond on the other side of the park, with a bear crawl across the bridge along the way.
At the pond, find a partner and a medium-sized rock for the following:
- Partner 1: Start lunge walking around the pond with the rock above the head.
- Partner 2: Run around the pond in the same direction. When you catch partner 1, flapjack
- Continue until the rock makes it around the pond
Return rocks and fellowship jog back to the parking lot
Mary
- Pretty much out of time so 6-inch leg hold with 5 count around the circle
