The Urologist
Crisp morning with a couple of guests this AM for a visit to The Urologist. The naming of this workout may make more sense if you read here or here.
Anyway, good morning to get to work, and that’s exactly what 9 of us did, promptly at 0530.
THANG
Partner up and run the mile to HT and back to OP. Mosey to the playground at the back of the school.
Partner 1 does 10 pullups, 20 dips, and squats until partner returns. Partner 2 jumps the baseball fence (careful, or you may actually end up at the Urologist) and does 40 LBCs at home plate.
When partners meet, 5 dumbocrats each. Then flapjack.
Lather, rinse, and repeat until 6:06, then run the mile to HT and back.
I believe most groups got in 6-8 circuits (I won’t do the math for you) with total mileage in the 3-3.5 range.
Moleskine
I see this often questioned, but in short, a moleskine is a journal
Total grind out there today with only a few exercises on repeat. Dumbocrats always suck, but even in small-ish sets of 5, they really add up to a total suckfest. Pullups are consistently one of the hardest exercises. After leading yesterday with a bunch of WW2 situps, the LBCs were pretty brutal by the mid-point. Fortunately no one had any injuries going over the fence.
We had a couple of site FNGs today from Metro. Chairthrower made the trek down from Sedgefield and did not ride his bike. In all my time in SoDil, I don’t think I knew that he owned a car. Post-BRR training, and now he’s flying out there. Strong work today, and thanks for visiting. Will you give Doobie and Santa Maria directions?
Egypt, who lives way closer to here than CEC, must have been running late for Ring Run, or the rumors of his on going beef with Tardy are true #BadBlood. That’s actually not true, but I just wanted to both call out Tardy for not making it down from Gov^2 and throw in a TSwift reference. Anyway, the headband made the virgin voyage down to OP, and couldn’t place / recognize Swiper away from Metro. He moved south – now McGee….one more YG and it’s officially an exodus. He dogged it on the initial mile, but then matched it on the final mile while YHC was dragging #mediumpace. Too bad @Bushwood wasn’t there #soccerarmscup.
Loved the push from Krypto on the run back, when YHC was admittedly dragging, which Voodoo didn’t fail to point out. Appreciate the accountability, gents! Also, apparently you have some heavy feet, Krypto – not Iron Mike heavy, but still. One Eye was the Jim Furyk, steady-Eddie, again. Brushback finally made it back out, and it was good to have him back.
Sundancer brought the tunes out there today with a Halfbaked (Cheech and Chong for the respects) inspired play list. Swiper was a huge fan, going so far as to skip past more Grateful Dead. No bongos or bat guano today.
Announcements (check the website for details):
- Joe Davis Run
- A51 Christmas Party
- Turkey Bowl – yeah, I don’t have a link for that one. Contact @SpacklerF3
- Service opportunity at Church on the Street – I want to have SOFA WIB take all these spots on 12/6, if we can. In this time of Thanksgiving and Christmas, if you want to truly feel thankful for what you have, realize all that you really have to be thankful for.

You forgot to mention that I threw up. Take pride in your work.
Egypt rolls in hot, outruns everyone, and refuses to do exercises like this is Armor or Casbah.
Pull-ups are important BFE, which is why we keep doing them, in whatever horrible form we can.
Except One Eye, who does everything amazingly. I hate his guts.
Timeout, Mr. 1970s Boombox…I did my dang pullups. Some of them I did as 2 sets of 5, with the dips in between…which turned out not to make them any easier, but it was worth a shot. I even did some of them as full dead-hang pullups (if 2 counts as ‘some’).
And Swiper can attest that I did all the dumb-ass-o-crats (which aren’t in the lexicon, so aren’t an official exercise, BTW), even with the added challenge of trying to keep my feet in-place on his KY-covered back.
That was (as usual) awful, Kirk. I’m still looking for an F3 workout where I don’t say that afterward. I guess I’ll need to start #F3Nap to try to fix that. But, I digress…
Kirk, you were still flying out there, just not in the top 3-4, where I expect you. I was holding down my usual second to last spot (thanks, Sundancer), so I don’t really have any room to accountability check you. There were some fast guys out there, event without Bushwood, so no shame in being at the back of the pack. It just means you went all out on the exercises in the middle.
See you next week at the best F3 workout in Area 51 on Rea Road on Tuesday.
Few things – 1) I did not witness the merlot spill and therefore did not mention, but that it happened without the originally planned WW2 situps is comforting. Also glad I nixed that as the merlot spill likely would have been on the playground in the middle of everyone 2) I totally forgot to include the quite awkward KY comment, which is odd. 3) Voodoo – I reverted back to my old WIB mosey on the last mile. Two Qs plus golf in two days, so I was running on fumes. Your call out had me turn it up a little until Krypto didn’t want to let me pass him.
