A short hard long and a long easy short

Short run in yellow, long run in blue
Those with good memories for this sort of thing (which is to say, only Egghead) will have recognized today's HH3 long run as a reverse variant of the Mini-Monster of 25 June, 2011. It cut a bit closer as it came back around the hill so was only 6km long, though total ascent was a generous 470m.  There was some of the usual whingeing from the farang minority about too many hills, squares instead of shreddy, etc., but the Thai constituency seemed well satisfied. First back was the increasingly slim and fit Sex Tsunami in 1:19, followed closely by Sex Printer, Sex Black Man, and Sex of the Man. See, having a "Sex" name helps you run fast. Muu Sap went missing for a while, which will probably be what people remember about this run.

The short run, designed to cater to the athletic tendencies of the Hatyai Hash walkers, was a mere 500m shorter, with an ascent of 170m. They were somewhat more unanimous in their approval, but then they're more easily pleased. Everyone seemed to like the runsite, but believe me: there are not a whole lot of runs possible around here. The hills are big and jungley and the trails are few.
