R3 fake starts toward home, stops, F1 lowers the ball to her thigh and just looks at R3. R3 pauses for a second then takes a step back toward 3rd, then stops again.
At that moment, R3 is out for violating the LBR.

Yes. The moment F1 is no longer makin a play on any runners (and she certainly wasn't when she lowered the ball), the runners are obligated to meet their LBR requirements.
