Monday – August 26th, 2019 – Pre-Launch Workout for F3 Catasaqua to be referred to now as “The Ranch”
It was a beautiful gloom! Leaving Macungie at 0504 to arrive at the Ranch at 0527. It was perfect temperature and still dark. YHC wanted to start building momentum for the official launch of this workout and get familiar with the AO to lead the first workout. No real plan for this workout other than see what this park has to offer in terms of obstacles and opportunities to accelerate fitness of the PAX.
The first thing you will notice when you arrive at the Ranch is you feel like you are entering a Bowl or arena of sorts. The parking lot is on the low ground next to a huge swimming pool. Next to to swimming pool you will see an amphitheater that is nestled into a 3 level hill on a 45 to 75 degree grade at parts that climbs for 50 to 75 yards.
As you traverse the park you will also encounter playground equipment that actually plays music, basketball courts, swings, playground equipment, volleyball courts, pavilions, and skate park. I imagine if you ran the outer edge of the park you would travel over 1.5 miles.
