Pre-Pre-Blast – New Year El Dorado Convergence

All All MECA Backblasts

December 27th, 2016 By AstroVan

After YHC was bruised and humbled last week at The Brave (parking deck AMRAMP) in Ballantyne, I came back north with a yearning to get better at this type of workout. Imagine YHC’s delight when contacted by SS Minnow about a running of El Dorado, MECA’s attempt at The Muthaship that has been on hiatus for a little bit. We will be running a special El Dorado Convergance at 7am on Monday, January 2nd.

For those not familiar with the workout:

El Dorado is a 1 Hour, typically AMRAMP (as many reps as possible), workout. Park at 9315 N. Tryon, across the parking lot from Chipotle. At go, run 1 mile into the Six Story Union Deck. Workout for 40ish minutes and then run back. There is a Pre-Blast sent the day before the workout. The Q structures the workout, but once it starts there is little Q involvement.

This is a great test of fitness and mental toughness. This type of exercise is typically considered one of the hardest you will find in F3. COME START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT!

Coffeeteria to follow at Panera Bread off N. Tryon.

      What’s the problem? Figured MECA workouts were so wasy, you would want to double down at an earlier workout?

        I would like to DD… but I would also like to stay employed at least until bonus time.

            You can write epic backblasts, but you can’t go to work a little late? Come on Tolkien! Man up!

    HC…I’ll figure what to do about work later.
