Hash archeology

Has he gone yet? Can we talk about him behind his back?
Disinterring Saturday's run from the complex confusion of data provide by Kii Leum was much like making sense of Kii Leum's mental processes - best left to experts. Here is the track from his GPS:


From which, with the aid of a little local knowledge, a few inspired guesses and a partial recollection of where we went, my best guess of what the run actually looked like is this:


which was 8.2k with all the F's and was completed in a sprightly 1 hour 10 minutes including the beer stop. The first half did not exceed 40 meters at any point but once we crossed the road into more familiar territory the run hit a maximum of 84 meters at the F on the extreme right of the run. The short run was a challenging 5.5k which probably accounted for the fact that almost all the short runners got home after the long runners.

Kii Leum did also helpfully provide a track for Sunday's HH3 run which happily is in almost complete accord with the hare's own track.

6.4k without the F's and X's, 7.9k with them, the run hit 280 meters at the top of the upper X at the 3rd check but from there the trail was  a fairly gently downhill trot, allowing the first runner home (ok, Beavershot) to get home in 1 hour 7 minutes with pretty much everybody home in 1 hr 15. The short run was a modest(!!) 4.8k .

  1. Thankyou Sir Egghead, I got part way through deciphering the track sent by that cloggy eloper, but decided to leave it till another day, but leaving it to you was an even better idea.

    1. Ahem! As I said, best left to experts. Now where was that strait-jacket?
