Governments may come and governments may go but a good run lasts forever (...and ever and ever!)

As is often the case, yesterday's HH3 run will probably be remembered for all the wrong reasons. It should be remembered for being a 7.5k yomp through some largely unexplored territory just off the Chana highway, with a waterfall thrown in for those lucky enough to see it, and a 3.3k short run for those lucky enough to coincide with Leum Kii's arrival at its point of departure. For those who didn't, which consisted mostly of the kids, they embarked on the rest of the long run and had to be rescued by GM, Star Soccer or guided home by Big Foot.

So that is the first reason it shouldn't be remembered - the run that almost ate the next generation of hashers! The second reason then manifested itself as the GM and members of the Sex Sprinter clan abandoned the reins of power to Moo Sahb presumably to prepare to bring down the government on the morrow. Moo Sahb then made a valiant effort to run a bilingual circle and almost carried it off aided by some traditional water throwing courtesy of Full Moon. The main recipient of FM's attention was Big Foot whose crime of rubber abuse represents the third reason for which the run should not be remembered, but which went otherwise unpunished since the owner of the rubber tree he backed into did not arrive to claim a financial recompense.

A great run though. Sex Sprinter claimed to have completed it in 1 hour and 2 minutes, but had he dallied long enough would probably have been iced for some creative trail running. No one else had a stop watch handy but it felt more like a 1hr 15-20 min run. Thanks guys - we won't forget even if it is for all the wrong reasons!
