The Path to Nowhere

YHC posted a pre-blast promising some Easter fun and didn’t want to disappoint. I rolled up at 0445 in time to refuel the Trailblazer and do a little exploring. With a full tank and flag planted, YHC headed out to hide some Easter eggs and see where an oddly placed sidewalk went. After stashing the eggs, it was off for the mystery path. It appeared to run behind the parking lot, but there was only one way to find out. So YHC in an anticlimactic kind of way headed down the trail. This turned out to be a nice wide .25 mile greenway trail that ends just behind Jiffy Lube, perfect for today’s warm up. Today’s workout brought out 16 PAX, with 6 for EC. 4 for the standard EC and 2 EC commuters. Promptly at 0530 YHC found no FNGs and we were off.

EC: Chips, Dahmer, Pablo, Warbucks, Lipstick, 187

Warm Up:
Warm up jog down the path to nowhere. We stopped at the end for:
SSH x20 IC
Mtn climbers x20 IC
Sir Fazio arm circles 10 forward/10 backward

Ran back path and crossed road to doctor’s office parking lot

The Workout:
Partner up for accountability. Bunny Hop Burpees (burpee + 3 bunny hops) around parking lot with lunge walk back to pick up the 6 for those over achievers such as Lucky.

Mosey back to start.

It was at this point that YHC noted a failure as the Q. I put PAX in danger as we crossed the busy Holly Springs road. We should have (and will next time) ran up to the crosswalk and crossed safely. Instead, we had a surprise game of Frogger, that we luckily won.

PAX split into 4 groups of 4 for an egg hunt. Group 1 did indian run to end of lot and retrieved an egg filled with an exercise. PAX held plank until 1st egg was returned and exercise was called. PAX did exercise (AMRAP) while Group 2 retrieved and egg. Multiple PAX jokingly called more Bunny Hop Burpees, so I’ll take it that those were a hit.  This was repeated until all eggs were collected and all exercises were completed.  That jerk the Easter bunny left us the following exercises:
Hand release merkins
Captain Thor
Squats
Jack Webb
Pickle pounders
Plank jacks
Low slow flutter
Side straddle hop
Wide-grip merkins
Burpees
Dan Taylor
V-ups
Jump lunge
Star jump
Shoulder Taps x50 IC
