Well, it rained… It started raining mid afternoon, and it’s still raining now… The hashers that did brave the rain then faced the run I and HRA had laid in the morning. Of course I could say it was the best run ever, but I should probably report the feedback from the runners – concisely ‘a good run, but too far!’. Just as well the days are long at the moment as triathlete Jake was the first man home in just over 1 hour.
The run set off flirting with the steep mountain, but quickly cut back and stayed mostly on trails. It then headed towards familiar ground between a couple of lakes. Watching from there it was interesting to see how confusing it was for the hashers – rechecking trails that had already been kicked out. Chuck Wao was complaining as the trails turned to slush in the rain – completely different from when we set it hours before. Miss Piggy was really upset with the length and duly punished the hares – She wasn’t DFL though and did make it back in daylight! Sorry Miss Piggy!
