Not much to be said about this weekend's hashing unless you are a psychiatrist in which case you would probably have a lot to say about masochists who having survived Yardo's 9.9k pre-monster on Saturday, then willingly set out on what was being billed as a fairly extreme A to B to C run on Sunday set by well known psychopaths, Sex Star and Sex Ao Ao, smarting for revenge after his inability to stick to the plot last week.
Looking at the profiles above, Yardo's run looks slightly the more extreme; but it lacked the sheer vertical grandeur of the Sex boys outing and although Yardo's run is measured as being slightly the longer, that is deceptive as all the (7!) F's and X's have been left in whereas Sunday's run is mostly the trail itself as the bearer of the GPS was not in any danger of finding or breaking any checks once the run got seriously underway. For the record, Sunday's run split at 4.0k with the B to C section measuring just under 5.3k and the total ascent was 479 meters. Yardo won't reveal what the total ascent was on Saturday so it must have been equally horrific.
But the good news is that next weekend's monster is going to seem like a walk in the park according to Beaver, and he should know as he has spent a week of his life recce'ing it. But hares have been know to lie or to be subject to fits of self deception. Those of a nervous disposition might want to consult their psychiatric advisers before next Saturday just to check that their sanity has not completely departed!
