17 faithful posted to the cooler than expected gloom at #Battle this morning. The #Gauntlet pax from Lexington decided the AO was the perfect option for concluding their weeklong series of pain. Honored to host 11 or 12 from across the river, we felt a three headed monstrous Q was in order. What happens when three misery seeking heads pool their creative talents? A very long hour….

- Solid effort by all 17 this morning. We drew this workout up to be very difficult and it appeared to deliver yet in a fair way. The three circuits were very different and focused on different muscle groups. This was a solid test and we were all fortunate with the weather.
- T-Claps to the #Gauntlet pax that made the drive over to conclude their week with #Battle. We were honored to wrap up the week at #Battle.
- Tires are not fun to push across sand (no rolling or flipping allowed)
- In addition to playing host to the #Gauntlet pax #Battle celebrated its 1 Year Anniversary this morning. This AO knows how to throw a party.
- Gypsy joined us and proclaimed it his 20th birthday today. Happy Birthday to the #WarBaby!
