A run to remember - for all the right reasons

Didn't make HH3 yesterday? Well they don't come much better than yesterday's run. Sadly un-GPS'ed but 1hr 9mins. for the super-fit young things, with mere mortals making it in 1hr15 upwards. The hares estimated it at about 10k, although 7 - 8k seems more realistic.
But what a great run, taking in the full majesty of the hills behind the run site including a long snaking trail along the final valley reaching almost to the Chinese cemetery on the Sadao road, before turning back towards the Chana road for a long ridge run followed by three short descents and ascents back to the run site. A great trail marred only slightly by a dearth of checks which allowed the field to become a bit attenuated. The miscreants pictured above were unable to appreciated the significance of a big F on the final ascent which meant that they rejoined the out trail for the final few hundred meters. The short run was by all accounts, challenging particularly so for Full Moon and a couple of the other young ladies who fell into the clutches of Vaseline who took them on a short cut which meant they only just made it back before dark.
The On On! was chez Pi Lek where curry and pizza supplemented the usual fare provided by mein host. There was also too much beer, with the ice box still looking suspiciously replete at the end of the evening. Now I wonder why that was.
