Ulu Langat was Christina’s previous run site with Wednesday Harriettes. Her run was considered to be too short, by some of the KLH3 clubs so called experts. This certainly was not the case on Saturday. With 4 serious hills and hot and humid weather, it took its toll on the serious and not so serious runners. Uncle Looi was found several times leaning against trees for support as “his back was killing him” advice from the scribe ‘Uncle Looi just stick to either hashing or sex as to do both will certainly kill you in the end’
Huge or “Mother Sheep” didn’t leave the car park as ‘didn’t’ a number of others….perhaps they knew of the perils that lay ahead…
The run set off out the front gate and up the long bitumen road approx 1 ˝ kms to the top with a confusing check off to the right. It must have been confusing as it took about 10 mins to break. Around this area our flamboyant GM African Mule and our “never in attendance committee member, cos I’m bonking this new bird in Singapore”, Colin King, went checking to the bottom of a humongous hill only to curse and swear their way back to the top to get back on trail. It was at this point that a number of our fine females did a U turn as it was ‘too tough’ for them, Candy amongst them [as usual]. Having done this run with Mother Hash, several weeks ago, I was aware of the terrain and opted to short cut left up the other road. This road afforded a much easier climb to the peak, Spotted on this road were baskets and boxes of fruit that were obviously meant for the runners later in the run. But they were not utilized for some obscure reason owing to the f-up by the Co-Hare Richard, somehow getting his fine piece of British Engineered Land rover stuck in a drain by the road side and not getting back to collect the fruit ????????????
The run went down the valley behind U.L. and through the fishing ponds. Coming down on to an orchard area surrounded by a high tin fence where a check caused much delay to many. However it must be noted that the front runners who broke the check did not lay paper through to the trail…naughty naughty. The following pack eventually broke the check, with all sorts of methods tried to escape from the enclosure, a number were seen climbing over and a few managed to find a hole under, with the smarter ones taking the way around the end of the fence, through the stream and up the track, through the rubber and up over the hills. Where much devastation has occurred in the name of progress.
[I preferred the trees, thank you very much!!] Back through the rubber and over yet another hill, where Patsy Yap from far behind could be heard squealing loudly at the top of the previous hill, then down through a couple of small streams with the only shiggy on the run, to enter the On On Site by the car park.
First runner back was Colin Hurkis in 1.27mins.
Approximately 160 + runners were in attendance, and they enjoyed the delicious Roast Pig in the car park as fast as Bull Ong could cut it up, all the hash dogs were bulging at the seams with the leftovers. It would be a good idea of Colin King to tie up Hazel the Humping hound in the car park as she has a habit of doing the rounds of the cars and mounting all the other dogs that are correctly tied up and there fore cannot escape her sexual affection / habits, apparently, as the rumors have it “ are all learnt from Colin “
The circle was conducted by our disreputable GM ….Mr Jimmy Legover. Some of our German members were down downed for some good reason. A couple of visitors from Taiwan, a Frog and his cute little Indo Squeeze were deservedly punished for screwing up their flight tickets.
As the On On was in the adjacent restaurant it was only a hop skip and a jump to the tables, although the food was a bit slow in arriving, it was well received by the mob when it did, with Yee Sang as the opening round and the flashing of chopsticks to welcome another year of prosperity, extended work permits, short runs, small hills, low subs, cold beer, bouncing boobs, Free On On’s, more pretty members, clear instructions to runs and On On’s, good times and fun for all.
Some body received a free On On via an Ang Pow Packet that had been left along the trail. Going by the amount of packets that were by the trail, there were a lot of ‘sorry lah, no free on on for you’ as well.
Overall the run was judged a T-shirt and it should have been a medal, for the effort that went into it. When one considers the criterion that goes into judging a run.
Car parking, [Excellent] Run Location, [Very Good] Run Directions,[Good] Quality of the run, [Very Good] as in variety of terrain and length, On On location [Excellent] and quality, [Very Good] quantity [More than enough] and cost of the food, [Very Reasonable] any other effort put in by the hares [e.g. water stops, fruit stops, novelty ideas [e.g. Roast Pig, Ang Pows, Lion Dance, Gifts for the participants. An excellent effort by the hares] This run had it all. The T shirt that was given to Christina was suitably sized for Richard Moss and Robin Cox together….Now that would be something to see………
So what that her co-hare was Opera, if it was a F-up of a run Christina would have to bare the consequences, of choosing him as a co hare. And don’t the rules say you must always have an experienced hare with you if you are a virgin Hare with Petaling Hash.
Let’s just say that the committee is still out on the final decision on the Medal.
