SUMMARY:#311: The Devil's Revenge - Hellsfire Pass
DESCRIPTION:The Ominous Start\nWe really should have checked the fine print before heading to a run literally named Hellsfire Pass. The universe wasn’t exactly subtle with the warnings. We started by crossing water and spotting an eel\, and by the time we’d tackled a measly 800m elevation over just 4km\, we were greeted by a red-bellied black snake crossing our path.\nIt’s clear the devil was in the details last night\, and he was laughing at us the whole way up. \nThe “Hydration” Strategy\nThe night kicked off with a drink start. At the time\, we thought it was a lovely gesture; in hindsight\, it was clearly a medicinal necessity to numb the impending trauma. Once we reached what we thought was the summit\, we hit a drink stop. This was a brief\, beautiful reprieve before the realisation set in that we had even more climbing to do. \nSpecial mention must go to Dan\, who seems determined to dethrone Oscar Pistorius\, sorry thats the murderer\, Piastri’s F1 career. His record-breaking speed back down the hill in his car was likely motivated by the knowledge of the feast waiting at the end; or perhaps he was just fleeing the scene of the crime. Either way – this Hearse driven by the headless horseman could have taken us to hell because at that point we were all too tired to fight the evil anymore \nThe Rise of the “Ralk” \nLet’s be honest: nobody was running up those inclines. We’ve officially birthed a new discipline: the Ralk. It’s not a run\, it’s not a walk; it’s a vertical struggle for survival. When the front running bastard\, our esteemed GM\, Pepe hands at the back pretending to care about the dwindling lost souls we all knew it was a guise to hide the fact that not even Chuck could have climed that hill. \nThe Circle and Commemorations\nThe circle was a departure from our usual chaotic shenanigans. Instead\, it was a quiet\, subdued vigil. We took the necessary time to pay our respects to the recently fallen Chuck Norris.We also held a moment for Bubbles the fish. It appears Menstrual decided to deposit some “devil’s spew” into the water at the Tandoori Palace during last week’s AGPU. Poor Bubbles likely took one look at that toxic mixture\, realised life wasn’t worth it\, and checked out. \nFinal Thoughts\nA massive well done to the Ex-GM for a wonderful\, invigorating\, and not even remotely challenging stroll. You could do better… \nOn-On \nhttps://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WhatsApp-Video-2026-03-25-at-12.23.57.mp4

SUMMARY:#312 : Ball Bag's Blundering Buffoonery
DESCRIPTION:The Build-Up (Or Lack Thereof)It started with a message from our illustrious resident Octogenarian (that is someone over 80 for those of you that don’t understand words longer than 6 letters) \, BallBag\, who informed Arsenic that the courts were “booked”. \nIn BallBag-speak\, “booked” apparently means “Ibooked out and none are avaiable.” \nArsenic\, being the diligent soul he is\, created the poll\, and suddenly we were all scheduled for a night of drills and… well\, mostly just standing around. \nThe “Grand” Arrival\nThe dedicated crew—Eno\, Tristan\, Baah\, and Pepe—rocked up with high hopes and low expectations. Arsenic arrived shortly after to drop the first bombshell: we didn’t actually have a court. But the plot thickened. It turns out BallBag wasn’t just late; he was at last week’s run location. Now\, that is a level of dedication to the past that I can almost respect. He missed the run so much he decided to go and do it solo\, seven days too late. Absolute gold. \nThe Sighting\nWhile we sat there hydrating with beers and waiting for the Hare to find the correct week on his calendar\, something miraculous happened. On the court directly in front of us was a perfect 10.\nI’m talking flawless. Every part of her was peak performance. Of course\, the reality check hit us harder than a 200km/h serve: none of us weary Hashmen would ever get so much as a sniff unless there was a parked bicycle seat somewhere nearby. \nFresh Meat might have had a chance if a bacon sandwich was involved\, but for the rest of us\, it was strictly a spectator sport. \nThe “Feast” and The Fallout\nBallBag eventually graced us with his presence\, confirmed for the third time that there was indeed no court\, and then did the unthinkable. He vanished. He didn’t even stick around for the gourmet catering—Dominos Pizza.\nHonestly\, it was a massive step down from the superior perfectly rotated snags and white bread with two types of onions so clearly he didn’t miss anything. \nFor the second week in a row\, we officially broke with tradition. Given the “scenery” on the court and the lack of a Hare\, we had no circle and no charges. Just a group of men sitting in the dark\, eating pizza\, and questioning their life choices. \nOnOn \n   \nhttps://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WhatsApp-Video-2026-03-31-at-19.40.54.mp4

SUMMARY:#313 : BallBag's Ball Beating
DESCRIPTION:Our esteemed Patriarch actually managed to locate the correct destination\, on the right day\, and at the right time. Truly\, a miracle for the ages. In his usual professional coaching persona\, he put us through the expected drills; the only thing missing was a good planking. However\, judging by the way some of the boys were handled on the court\, they still left with enough bruises and sore spots to make a planking feel like a spa day. \nSpeaking of planking—and other physical exertions—news.com.au is reporting that men should be aiming for at least 21 “releases” a month to slash prostate cancer risk by 22%. Miscarriage made no bones about it\, promptly announcing his departure to go work on his “prostate health.” Godspeed\, you dedicated philanthropist. \nThe Awards Ceremony (or Lack Thereof)\nBaah Sinister took home Best Player of the Night. \nOur GM naturally secured Worst Player of the Night—consistency is key\, after all. \nYour humble scribe\, Eno\, nabbed Best Shots of the Night. Look\, just ask any happy woman on the Gold Coast; Eno always delivers the best shots when the sun goes down. \nDeep Thoughts and Deeper Balls\nThe core message from our coach tonight was simple: whatever we do\, the aim is to make our balls go deeper. This is a philosophy we apparently embraced last week too. We even took a five-minute pause under the gondola to reminisce about the “beautiful sights” from the previous run. Baah Sinister was so enamoured he suggested tracking down whoever made that booking to see if they were “cuming” again. Honestly\, the puns write themselves. \nThe Verdict\nThe night was ultimately salvaged by the spread provided by Ball Bag’s better half\, though it was tragically onion-free. When our GM wasn’t busy showing off his ballet skills with some Pepe Le Spew pirouettes\, he managed to bag a hat-trick. Not of goals\, mind you\, but of failing to organise a circle. That’s 3 for 3. At this rate\, he’s giving Albo a run for his money in the “useless leader” stakes. \nSpecial shout-outs to Tommy the Toucher—who showed up because there were no schoolkids around to bother during the holidays—and Arsenic\, who filled the role of quasi-assistant coach and designated ball carrier. \nNext Week\nThe Walking Dead are celebrating their 2\,500th run. If you’re planning on supporting them\, I’d suggest bringing a spare oxygen mask and perhaps some smelling salts. They might actually try to move faster than a tectonic plate for once. \nWe’ll see you there. \nOn On!
