Who let the dogs out?

6 ran and 1 rucked this AM at The Halfpipe. One of the PAX had his 4-legged companion in tow. This provided an additional distraction for the other two dogs being walked by a Kinmere resident. I’m sure their owner wishes he could have a quiet Tuesday morning walk through his neighborhood. Meanwhile, one of the PAX (the SCA) just wishes he would let the dogs go to see if they started chasing us or run up and down the hills with us.

Pause for a quiet COT

16 men gathered at a foggy Folsom this am for a bootcamp I called the Folsom Buffet. Very simple 8 exercises that you can get as much of as you want.

Warmup

5 Side straddle hops

1 Burpee

Mosey to the block pile and carry your block to the top of Roundups Hill.  The work was listed in rounds.

Round1-  10 Blockees at the top, 10 Burpees bottom
Round 2- 20 Thrusters top, 20 Squats at the bottom
Round 3- 30 tricep extension top, 30 merkins bottom Round 4- 40 Curls top, 40 Hillbillies at bottom

Rinse and repeat til time. The hill itself down and back is right at a 1/4 mile. So most guys got a couple miles in with alittle elevation.
