Blame Pallino for this one. His Q on Tuesday at The Piranha was a little too similar to what YHC had planned for Thursday’s Tobacco Road (great minds!), so YHC called an audible.
Had already decided on a straight-up burpee fest as the replacement when Uzi HC’d out of the blue, so it was kismet, as that dude rather famously loves burpees. The title of this post is his mantra for anyone who lives in fear of them.
Knope, Castaway, Bellhop, Scapula, Uzi and newly minted rucker Count Chocula got in an EC ruck, then 13 gathered by the flag. YHC advised the proceedings would be unpleasant at times, but we’d help each other through it and be better by the end. And that’s pretty much how it went down.
Standard warm up, including 5 burpees
Mosey to field, where YHC quickly demonstrated a couple of modifications should PAX get smoked, then we were off to the races:
- Half field: five burpees at each of five corners – start and finish = 25
- Full field: four corner escalator, 5 burpees, 10 burpees, 15 burpees, 20 burpees = 50
- Full field: four corners de-escalator, 20 burpees, 15 burpees, 10 burpees, 5 burpees = 50 (Asked Scap for a 10 count here, but he declared it was unnecessary, so we got right back at it.)
- Full Field: four corner escalator, 5 burpees, 10 burpees, 15 burpees, 20 burpees = 50
- Half field, 5 burpees all five corners X 2 = 50
MARY
- Flutter Kick X 50 IC
- WWII X 50
- Uzi Special – 20 burpees
Voila, 250 burpees, plus some Mary and moseying

Scap shared an update on Lee Fitch. Some encouraging signs but a long way to go. Continued prayers for him and his family. Weed N Feed plugged his really cool project, the Vexicon, video demonstrations of F3 exercises. Asking for PAX to contribute their own submission to get a nice full catalog, then can share with all of F3 nation. Uzi asked that we help Dean Wormer and his M reach their fundraising goal to pay for surgery for their dog. YHC took us out.
MOLESKIN
Mumblechatter stayed high despite all the huffing and puffing. Best way to get through a monotonous Q. T claps to new arrivals Transfer Portal and Count Chocula, who are posting consistently since joining and crushing it. Also glad to have Scrooge McDuck join us for the first time. He lives nearby and has already committed to The Piranha on Tuesday. Hope he’ll become a SoDu regular. Finally, big, big T-claps to Wreck It Ralph for doing the second half of the workout shirtless!
