After some time away from F3 these past few weeks (and no shortage of Coronas), YHC knew he needed something to kick start his return to something approaching F3 form.
Enter The Dab (or in this case, a half Dab) and it's buddy the DORA. Proper advisement that I fully intended to make myself suffer was provided in the pre-blast. 11 PAX turned up inspite of my warning, as I fully expected and helped ensure YHC would make it through.

Thang #1 – The (Half) Dab = 100 Burpees
EMOM – 10 burpees per minute for 5 minutes
Run big Knight Farm Park loop
EMOM – 10 burpees per minute for 5 minutes
Run to Thales
YHC admittedly had to employ the Bump Draft burpee on minute 9 in order to make it…10 counts before and after runs provided by Pearl, Montecristo, Guesstimator, Sonic Kraut, maybe others…
Thang #2 – Thales DORA
PAX partner'd up for a Murph inspired 100 merkins/200 squats/300 LBCs DORA with runs from crosswalk to crosswalk in front of Thales.
All groups finished perfectly on time, allowing a nice mosey back to the AO for a not too shabby total distance of 1.5 miles.
Mary ended with ROF bows & toes, 5 count per PAX.
Announcements: Come celebrate Monte's 2 year anny at the Wall tomorrow, and a Rambler Q!
COT:
The saying goes if you can't do it, don't Q it. I wasn't sure I could do this workout. But I did know that if I tried, I would get through it because of the strength of the PAX assembled and going through it with me. F3 is about doing the hard thing…getting up early, no matter the weather, to participate in whatever workout someone else put together. That builds mental and emotional strength, not just physical strength, that gives us the ability in our daily lives to overcome obstacles and grow as individuals. I wasn't sure if Siesta forced the Fertile girdle on me I could do it, but I knew I would certainly try, given the strength of those assembled to help me Q through it. Find others, let them in on this secret that we who post know. Aye!
