Portico of Pain

Event Date

Jan 03, 2022


PAX of 4 for this AM's washout of a workout. Cold rain and wind couldn't keep us from posting so we got to work right at 530.

We improvized and did warm ups under the covered playground, only to find that the cover was not providing much cover. We then moved to a small covered portico and adapted Poptart's Blocknado workout from Summer '21 to a Dora workout where 2 PAX did block exercises while the other 2 PAX ran. Block exercises were some variation of the following:

FIRST! Popcorn and YHC completed 50 burpees between laps to fulfill the Day 3 burpee challenge requirement. 

  • Block curls
  • Squat to press
  • Lawnmowers
  • Blockees
  • Skull crushers

We got about 2 rounds of exercises in and about 2.5 miles of running. Plus extra credit for completing them in truly Blocknado weather conditions. 

Dingo and Tammy Faye more or less partnered up and somehow the rain seemed to crank up every time they went out for their lap around the parking lot. Popcorn cruised through the workout and kept me going through each round with great conversation as we got to know each other a little better today. 

Thank you Tuffy for the opportunity to Q. Congrats to the new MQ Tammy Faye, who started his tenure in some fantastically bad weather (that's gotta be good luck, right?).

I wasn't sure how things would go this AM but everything worked out well by the end, as is always the case with an F3 workout. See you out there more in '22!
