Category Archives: CSH3 – Saturday

Miss Piggy is an experienced hare and so all were expecting a good run, especially with the added experience of Wooly Jumper – Maejo offers so many good run sites. As we arrived the sky darkened and threatened us with rain and sure enough as the hare’s let us set off there was thunder and lightening. We did get lucky though and there was only a light drizzle – after the past few runs I’m wondering what is up with the weather this year – rainy season shouldn’t have started yet!

The start of the run zig zagged a bit with a couple of good checks keeping the pack together. But then the hares seemed to forget about checks and there was a long long couple of kms at the finish without any checks. His Royal Anus and Chuck Wao set the pace and stretched out a lead ahead of the other FRBs. Chuck Wao pulled a fast one on HRA, with some stealth running, while further behind Horny Monkey lead Byte My Yahoo, Mr. Poo and Semen Soars astray. Eventually we got back on trail and everyone found their way back.

Superman decided that 4.3km was too far for him and lead a group on a shortcut.

I might be a bit biased about this one, given that I co-hared it, but I think this was probably the best run of the year!  Out in Doi Saket, we found some territory that hasn’t been used in a long time – indeed there was some discussion afterwards whether it was virgin or not.

We weaved the path zig zagging across the flat country, around quarries and lakes, across a little stream about 4 times (specially for Chuck Wao). Apparently the checks were well placed and kept the pack together for most of the run, with Chuck Wao only emerging ahead of Porn Shop at the end to run in alone. Skid Mark, Semen Soars and Dog Shit were too tired to run to the bridge so paddled through a filthy dike to get in.

What gets me is how many beautiful areas there are around Chiang Mai – we are so lucky to get to run through them each week!
