With precise directions – HRA ensured we all made it to the run site – despite this Dutchman Dog Shit had to have a little moan about the signs as Humperdick was taking a holiday from complaining. A still recovering (from Jungle Chim’s attempt to kill him with hair growth potions) was showing true Hash dedication by collecting the Hash Cash and most importantly – bringing the beer! Turkish Delight was also early at the site – bending my ears about Myanmar …. hummm
With modest turn out – and Chuckie heading back to bed, HRA went into the hare brief as Superman arrived. Superman has his expert strategy of turning up just as we are heading out – then while he’s changing gets to see the optimal point for some parallel running. Humperdick led the On Out down the road, but with FRB’s thin on the ground – I took off to get the first check wrong. Horny Monkey, Jungle Chim, Skid Mark and Humperdick led the early pack – and HRA had done a good job with the checks keeping us nicely bunched together and out of the festering cess pools that Skiddy would have surely sent us through. [This run site being so close to Skid Mark will no doubt be reused in much more punishing ways I fear].
At Skiddy Stix #4 (or was it 5) Horny Monkey, Jungle Chim, Skid Mark leapt the small ravine but Humperdick wanted to keep his front spot, so ‘lost’ his glasses – nice trick and seen this before used by BmY – while he ranted about not to step on his 7000 Baht glasses – Dog Shit, Turkish Delight and even Frozen Dick caught the pack up – I heard Frozen tell us “we’re pathetic” – perhaps he was right – so off over the ravine I took off on about the 6km mark – where the hell was the end of this 6.5km run?
Racists Horny Monkey and Jungle Chim then went into High School X-country training with each other – with Horny coaching Jungle in down the final 2km of road – with Turkish and Humperdick just behind. I came in on 1hr 15 for the 8.2 km run – Skid had 8.9 km on his GPS, Frozen came in not long after with 7.1km and Sups – well sometimes parallel running takes you to the wrong road and you need a bike ride back, so he too probably did more than 8km! A long but good run – I enjoyed as its the first run been able to get into for a while.
The circle was preceded by stomach lining sarnies – which works well after a decent run – then HRA led the circle. Even with lower than we’ve got used to numbers – the circle came to life after a few beers and all but Frozen (who’s off scouting Lanna V) headed onto the OnOnOn. Dog Shit earned the Wings by reminding HRA that they needed to be given out. Thanks HRA for a good workout and fun evening!
