EL Dorado returns for one gloom only:

Date/Time: Sat, Nov. 17 7-8AM

Launch: Old Kohl’s parking lot across from UNCC
9335 N Tryon St.
Charlotte, NC 28262

Long ago before the formation of the Mineshaft AO, men used to assemble on Monday mornings to take on a Varsity workout know as El Dorado. A mile run to the North Deck and its Stairway to Heaven and Mineshaft staircase awaited before a humbling run back. For only one Mineshaft Saturday morning workout it returns. Come and get some.

Run to the North Deck:

-Head down Tryon Street to the light rail bridge

-Cross over on the bridge

-Run back toward entrance to UNCC

-Take a right onto Institute Circle into UNCC

-Turn left on Robert D. Snyder Rd.

-Turn Right onto Phillips Road and circle around the football stadium (on the left) (we’re taking the long way)

-Take the first path behind the stadium toward Cameron Blvd.

-Turn left on Cameron Blvd. The road will curve to the right and then you’ll run past the light rail station.

-Turn left on Poplar and the North Deck is there waiting for you

– 5 One-legged burpees (OLB) then up Stairway to Heaven to middle of top deck
– 15 hand release mericans at middle of top deck then back down Stairway to Heaven
– 5 OLBs (other leg) then up the Mine Shaft to step on the middle of the deck
– 15 Makhtar N’Diayes (look it up) at middle of deck then back down the Mine Shaft
– 40 Air Squats then run the ramps as follows:
– AYG (including the flat)
– Bear Crawl (sprint the flat)
– Quadraphelia/Backwards (sprint the flat)
– Crawl Bear (sprint the flat)
– AYG up the remaining ramp/flat to the top then down the Mine Shaft

Repeat the circuit until time is called, then AYG back to the Burrito Station.
