Balkan Conflict

Event Date

Feb 24, 2018


Five wannabe Serbs made it out on a pleasant Saturday to solve the Balkan Conflict and hoist shots of plum aperitifs upon resolution of said conflict. It went about as well as you would expect
 
Warm-o-Rama
High knees, butt kicks, SSH, IST, Dry Humpers (aka upward and downward dog) and Mercans

Mosey to the Mountain of death. Take wrong turn, promptly u turn, then mosey to the bottom. Each set included four exercises selected by the Pax. 
 
Start at the bottom of the mountain of death. Run 2 mailboxes (20 yards) up the hill for 10 reps of the first exercise, then run back to bottom for another 10 reps of the same exercise. Second exercise goes up 3 mailboxes (30 yards) and back, third goes up 4 mailboxes and back and the last one goes all the way to the top of the mountain and back.

  • The crew was in a sharing mood today. We learned more than a few items today:
  1. Be careful objectifying the dog walker, it may just be somebody’s kids music teacher
  2. Be careful not to rub against your mixed doubles partner during a match. It is difficult to serve whilst having a chubby and it may also negatively impact team dynamics for the remainder of the match
  3. Planking combined with bad form allows one to check for bodily symmetry, and whether one has a gonad that hangs lower than the other. 
  4. The close proximity of houses in the Quarry Hood is really great for trick or treating, but not so good for a variety of domestic situations. Use discretion 
  • Recruiting efforts are continuing for both new and old participants 
  • With all this recent demonstration of moderation and abstinence, who is keeping up the drinking averages in Overlook?
  • “I’m not an arsehole” so said the Q. The rest of the Pax remained unconvinced
  • Bandanas on dogs is just so lame
  • Slivovitz (Slivo for short) can be described many different ways. My personal favorite is equating it to the fuel that fire breathers use at the circus, due to its kerosene-like qualities 
  • Great work men!
