Introduction
T’was a beautiful morn for a Black Diamond beatdown. Laughter from FIA could be heard in the distance. A gentle breeze carried the smells of sweat, apprehension, and geese from the pond. Six dudes got after it and got better… or at least their forearms did?!?

The Thang
The Thangs were 3 Fold:
- With a partner, we made our way from the pool lot to the Bridge, following the long curve around the pond. Partner one farmer carried the 2 coupons while partner 2 performed: 3 burpees, 5 Big Boys, and 7 Merkins. They then ran to their partner and switched. Rinsed and repeated until we arrived at the Bridge.
- After DORA, we used this same process to get back to the flags
- DORA at the base of the Bridge- while partner 1 performed the exercise, partner 2 ran to bridge, lunged walked across, did 5 air squats, and ran back to partner 1; rinse/repeat
- Exercises included (100 reps total)- Curls/Grady Corns/Squats/Single Arm rows/High pulls
- Modified Hindenburg BOMB at the flags
- First cone- 5 burpees
- Second cone- 5 burpees, 5 overhead claps
- Third cone- 5 burpees, 5 overhead claps, 5 Merkins
- Fourth cone- 5 burpees, 5 overhead claps, 5 Merkins, 5 Big Boys
- All finished with 10 burpees
Circle of Trust
@Twilight led a workout about a year or so ago in which he wrote in chalk: DL>DNF>DNS. Dead last is better than did not finish, which is better than did not start. We have had a huge number of FNGs lately. We need to make sure we are continuing to reach out, follow up, and get them out to workouts 2, 3, 4, 10, 200…. Even if they are dead last, it’s important that they start and sustain. If we are true to F3, this is our obligation as community leaders.
