Event Date

Sep 25, 2018


Five specimens came out on a reasonable cool Tuesday to learn the finer points of curling etiquette.  As was made evidently clear, the workout had absolutely nothing to do with curling etiquette.

  • There was an unexpected and surprising return of the pre-workout deuce to the Quarry. I just hope we did not ruin the fort area the kids use during recess

  • As a repeat offender, we need to chalk this one up to poor pre-workout porcelain management

  • A good way to get ones heart rate up outside of Asheville while running alone is doing 20 burpees. Another good way is coming across a Mama bear and her cub while running back up the hill you came from

  • Good to see Sparty back in the rotation.The spring membership outreach program continues to bear fruit

  • The Ricky Bobby 400 is another good way to get your heart rate up

  • Beware of the wardrobe malfunction during yoga class, especially when positioned front and center

  • Surf and Turf had a gender reveal, and he is expecting a baby girl Surf and Turf (Shrimp?) in March

  • Just what represents an appropriate and inappropriate as an exercise for Mary?

  • Curling is a game of skill and traditions that upholds the highest standards of sportsmanship. A shot well played is a delight to see as is a game played in the true spirit of curling. Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents. Curling has always relied on the common sense, honesty and the good manners of the players and a sporting approach to the game. While the main object of the game of curling is to determine the relative skill of the players, the spirit of curling demands good sportsmanship and honorable conduct.

  • So Q joined a curling league. Hilarity is certain to ensue

  • Great work men!
