Continuing the
fine tradition (starting last month) of not wanting to make the full moon runs
too easy, the long run on Thursday night was just over 7.3kms long, including the 7
false trails and 7 checks, but no check backs which could possibly have helped
the runners to find the paper a bit quicker.
The graph
shows a total ascent of 277m but done in a couple of easy stages, after
allowing the short runners to return to the beer truck after the first ascent.
The short run was 4.0kms long and took most of the walkers / joggers about 1
hour. The long runners took about 1 hour & 20 minutes to return to the beer
truck after which no time was wasted in attempting to drink the “free”(??) beer
esky dry. No that wasn’t free beer, well not for a few of the attendees anyway.
Generally
another entertaining Full Moon On After with Stick Insect / Lady of the Lamp
supplying the free entertainment in the way of new runner Gary, flown in by
special request all the way from Australia, singing a medley of western / rock
songs to the accompaniment of his excellent acoustic guitar playing. On On to
the celebration of Stick Insect's 60th birthday today at the SH3 run at Tung Jaeng restaurant on New Yala Road. Be there to take advantage of the offer of free food provided by the hare.
...but not free beer! (which will again no doubt, be provided by the usual suspects).
ReplyDeleteP.S. Great run!
So we finally get the length of our Saturday runs under control and now maniacs like Yardo are turning the FM run into a macho ballbreaker. Sorry I missed it!

ReplyDeleteBut what I tried to say was......in response to Beaver's comment ...not exactly, I heard that yesterdays run was 11 kilometers long, though this was hearsay, but possibly correct from the time it took people to return. I had plenty of time to contemplate celebrating Stick Insects birthday with every painful step. I found the greatest consolation was imagining the crunch of insect carapaces under my boot. On On Gan Yao (and how do I get rid of the Jessyeatsalpoand fish tag?
ReplyDeleteI kind of like Jessyeats but if you want to change it, click on the "Reply as" button just below where you type in your comment and select "Name/URL". Then type in any name you like.

ReplyDeleteNever mind Beaver, by all accounts the run was a miserable failure as a horror run.
