Olympian Alex Gregory posted a photo of his hands after taking part in the Polar Row, which had him in the Arctic and ... well, it was gross.
Being an Olympic rower isn’t worth having these hands
They look like two zombies.

JUST LOOK AT THESE THINGS!!!
These aren’t hands anymore. They’re tablecloths you’ve left to wrinkle in the dryer for too long. The palms look like a topographical map of the Grand Canyon, and his fingers are like pale hot dogs you’d find at a gas station at midnight.
But that’s not all folks — get a load of those blisters! They’re cautionary photos from a Victorian medical journal. These hands are just gross, but I can’t stop staring at them. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about them. It’s not often anyone can transform his own hands into the Night King, but darn it if Gregory didn’t do it.
Thankfully his hands ended up being totally OK — relatively speaking, because a few days after his initial photo, he tweeted this:
Skin is an amazing thing.
