Ok, so we're working on the headline but you get the gist. Originally billed as being 9.5k, run #1693 turned out to be ONLY 6k and given that at the extreme end of the run Sex Super-Sprinter managed to cut across the 80 meters or so between the tracks (in green) and cut out a loop, a check and an F into the bargain, it was probably nearer 5.5k in the end. Not that anyone was complaining as SSS, and HH3 visitors, Tsunami, Sex of the Man and Sex something or other lead for most of the way round with SH3 perenial FRB's Beavershot, and Stick Insect barely managing to cling on, such was the pace. Somewhere towards the end of the run as he sheperded his flock home, hare, Kii Leum's head met a tree in none too friendly circumstances and he had to be lead back to the runsite by Kee Ling. As the storm clouds gathered, the GM was panicked into holding a swift circle before the food had been cleared and as the rain fell another circle devolved into obscurity. But a great run which despite SSS's new found ability to crack checks two at a time managed to keep the pack pretty much together. The short run (in blue) was also widely appreciated.
Next week looks like being another relay hare run unless anyone steps up to volunteer. Any suggestions for a venue?
Where did that comment go Beaver?
ReplyDeleteDon't know, it just vaporized.
DeleteAnyhow I declared this to be Khii Leum's masterpiece, which is probably to say that Buck played a key role in it. Not sure Gan Yao liked it though -- his only comment was to clobber KL over the head with a rotten tree.
I have been maligned sir! I did not clobber him over the head. I grabbed hold of a tree by the path and it was rotten, the top part of the tree fell straight down, heading for the ground, until its gravitational attraction was halted by the intervention of KL's head. Enjoyed the run, thought I did a great short cut, but then found Jim's made me look like an amateur!

So you intend to use the "Gravity Defense"? It sounds a bit weak to me. You might want to confer with Egghead and bring in the Unified Field Theory too.
ReplyDeleteUnified field? Was that the one with the buffalo in it? Just after the 6 acre pasture? I shortcut over it.
