Well… Sorry Virginia. But if you can take so many years to set your first run, you can wait a few weeks (or months) to get your run report!
So many beers ago! Let me look into my crystal ball. I recall I first arrived at the run site with few cars around. Hot as hell and the sun blazing down. Luckily left the dogs at home for this one.
Set off on time to the call of the GM. As the front runners went up the hill to the right, myself and others that know the area pretty well decided to start checking. A very effective back check screwed us all up. As the call was at the top of the ridge (so I thought), my thought was… why not, start climbing. Up and up to the call with nothing but those damn fern undergrowth everywhere. Spend 20 minutes trying to break through. By now if was 5:00 and I hadn’t even gone past the first check.
When I finally broke through, I saw some late arrivals so decided to try to push on despite a bad cold. Weaved around following paper in and out of secondary growth and came out to the fish farms and naval training center. It was nearly 5:30 by this point. As the trail was starting back up the hill and away from home, it was time to call it a day. Save the energy for drinking!
Got back to the run site to find neither the short runners nor the long back yet. I think the first runner was back from the short at about 1:20 and long 1:30 (this is purely a guess, sorry!). The skies then opened up and poured down rain for the next 45 minutes. I spent most of the time in the back of Ramli’s truck with 8 beautiful women! Too bad they were all on Tiger and Guinness posters!
ON ON in KKB. Directions to which were a bit vague, at least enough to confuse the GM and others. Doesn’t take much!
On downs were appropriately given to this de-virginized hare and over used Co-Hare.
Then I’m sure there were many more down downs, a b-day cake and likely a triple on… all of which have been permanently erased from the memory banks.
Thanks for the good run and good luck overseas. ON ON
