So it was time for Junglicious’ virgin run and we were all wondering what goes through her head! She chose Huay Tung Thao – a common runsite, and one thats particularly common with virgin hares – close to town and relatively easy to set a good run. So what do we know about Junglicious? She’s a hell of a runner, and she runs up hills like they don’t exist! From the far side of Huay Tung Thao, the mountain is surely going to feature…
A good turn out set off on a fun start – a rope climb, a bamboo bridge, and Belly Dancer was already wishing he hadn’t come. Bizarrely the run had barely begun. A good circle check sent me the wrong way, and some strange calling by Mr. Poo sent me further the wrong way until I found myself scrambling across shiggy and a waterfall to rejoin Hollow Legs & Miss Hollow Legs as the mountain began.
Later in the circle, the irony of Belly Dancer criticising the hill was lost on nobody – it went up and up. And just when we thought we hit the top, they found a little bit more up. S&M girl and Chuck Wao were out front, and they took turns in going the wrong way and letting the pack catch up – in fact Chuck Wao deliberately went the wrong way on more than one occasion.
Finally we descended and well the descent was about half as far as the ascent, so logically we can’t have arrived on the same plane as the cars, but strangely they were there. The beer was flowing, but we had to wait for Frozen Dick before the circle began – not surprising as it was a tough run.
