Moleskin:
Another tough day at Battle. Pax had some fun with the new toys. Battle was bad enough as it was, these things are now just adding insult to injury (if you will). This workout was full of homemade badassery. Doing pull-ups on a thick frozen metal topless tent crossbar as cars drove by on Beltline, then Pax sprinting with tire sleds and rowing them back in the morning frost looked like some kind of NFL offseason training group. These guys are awesome. Great work.
