Kao Sam Nom: the long and the short of it

As announced, a long short run (3.7k) and a short long run (5.5k, but nearer 7k if you hit all the F's and X's). A multi-species pack of 20 beings equally divided between man and dog tackled the long run with Sex Long-cutter bringing up the rear in about an hour twenty after spectacularly failing to connect at the sixth check, then disappearing off the radar for 1/2 an hour much in the way that Beaver did not so long ago on the same hill. 

But all credit to Superpig and Peppered Pussy who together conquered the short run, which went almost as far up (99m) as the long run (106m), in about an hour and a half. Highlight of the afternoon for the canine runners was the mud-wallow at the final check with only Harram and the mutant poodles turning down the opportunity to immerse themselves in the evil red stuff which just won't wash out. Hard to say what the highlight for the humans was, but the following are some suggestions: 

1. Sex Sprinter coming in last, 
2. Yardstick returning for 1 week only, 
3. The availability of San Miguel Light on the beer truck 
4. Sex Sprinter getting lost, 

or have we had that already?
