A nearly 10km run amidst the fast disappearing greenery of Kajang Tech area. Overall a runners’ run, set in familiar hash terrirory, part in overgrown orchards, old rubber and some palm oil.
Yours truly broke the first check before running by a pile of dumped sports shoes which attracted the attention of none other than Ton Van Djik. We all know Dutch men run in clogs, so he became totally bewildered by the heap of abandoned shoes. After trying a few he finally decided clogs were better for running. A clever loop after the second check enabled the slower runners to move in front but the rest of the run was a succession of very easy checks which seldom delayed the front runners by more than a few seconds, resulting in a much stretched pack from the 3rd check onwards. We overheard that Uncle Louie was a key adviser to the ladies who set the run and may have been responsible for dumping 70 years of used hash shoes close to the site. CSI (Checking Slightly Inebriated) is checking this out.
By and large, the run satisfied the runners, and would certainly qualify as a good run, although it lacked the interesting features and unusual challenges that make a run truly memorable.
The JILL (female in the English hare family – Amy Ti-Ong in Chinese) was kind enough to reward all runners – and walkers – with a nice little goodie bag at the end of the track, including Tiger balm to rub on aching parts.
During the pre-circle Saru was observed trying to make money by selling massage services to none other than Opera. She was indeed claiming that kneading flesh was more rewarding than kneading cakes. Well, that certainly depends whose cakes you are kneading Saru !
The Grand Circle, clearly dominated by a bunch of mad Englishmen, was for a while the domain of Paul Kirkman who, with his stretched imagination, managed not only to extract bursts of laughter from the mob but also brought the ire of the rain god to the assembly; although that rain seemed certainly more hesitant that last week in Pangsun. Well, maybe the rain god did not understand all the English jokes – some bomoh! Ugly Mike obtained two DD for being the ugliest of the English and still getting the maid’s preferred attention while Don Cheong and Nan informed the faithful of next week’s ECO friendly run in the middle of the city. (Yes, it’s very ECO-nomical as you don’t need to drive far away to get to the runsite).
Zuan Kee was once again the selected restaurant for today’s buka puasa.
