6 PAX, including 1 2.0, emerged from the Fartsack this morning, looking for a way to #GetBetter, the Battle Way. The Battle Way is not for every man, but only for the man willing to push himself from comfort to discomfort. Waiting in the parking lot this morning was Fountainhead and YHC; two retired Nantans with a few Q’s under their collective belts.

COT/BOM – McLovin
Moleskin:
- Great morning at Battle. Major T-Claps to Sammie for his first Battle post. No way many, if any, young men his age are out getting after it like he was this morning. The apple has not fallen far from the tree at all.
- T-Claps to Fountainhead for the coupons. Cylinders do not describe the coupons. Imagine more like 25 pound concrete artillery shells. Add high reps with those, and work was done.
- The burpee circuit on the field was designed for two more rounds, but, by the looks of the Pax it was time to move on from that unpleasantness.
- Total distance of pushing the sled by each Pax – 120 yards. The sled is a great equalizer.
Announcements:
- Crazy Train starts on Monday at The Bull

- Convergence at Sawmill – July 13
