The Iron Bridge Kickoff – Partner stuff edition

16 sweat titans converged for what turned out to be an AMAZING kickoff to RVA’s 34th(?) AO. Major props to Pool Boy for EH’ing 2 FNG’s! Welcome Snowbunny and Choo Choo – freaking great work. If the early run/ruck was not nasty enough, the sun, the heat, and the Choo Choo train to the town of beat down finished us off. After grabbing some candy from Hardywood’s van, we partnered up and did some questionable things…
