The Pre-Run:

You knew it was going to be “one of those nights” when the emails started arriving mid-day from some of our newer members asking “where is Cox’s road?”. Ed note: In the future, gentlemen, try one of the following: 1) search the RS2H3 web for a previous run from the same site. Hares are notoriously lazy… once they find a spot they return to it; 2) get the hare’s phone number from the RS2H3 website and call him; 3) get out a HK map and figure it out; 4) say f*ck it and wait for the pack to return to Wanchai, pay Tinks some cash, and get the run credit anyway…

Anyway, no published directions, markings from the Jordan station to the start and, as usual, no Pussyfoot at the start. At least he did mark the start next to an overhang in the park. And, surprisingly, no Dogbite, despite his promise to show up for a last run.

Most arrived before 6:30 and were ready to go. The weather had miraculously cleared, but was still hot and humid. Right a the appointed hour, Pussyfoot strolled in, noticeably not delivering any water for the pack. “Tinks always provides”. “No I don’t at Cox’s Road” was the reply from Tinks. So, a hot urban run with no water…

The “good” news was that this was to be a 40 minute run, with no flashlights required. So, off we went, out the park to the right, led by ICE, Smallbone, Spit or Swallow, & Saddle.

The Run:

The pack dashed up to Jordan where the first check sent the front runners off towards the Indian Recreation Club while most of the pack held back to await the On On. Ice & Saddle disappeared temporarily. A Falsie was found and the pack headed up the street parallel to Cox’s road, only to find another Falsie. ET & Dribble strolled nonchalantly along, obviously doing their own circuit.

Camel correctly figured out that the trail must lead across Jordon and he just beat the light leaving Smallbone & Jack Off behind. Camel again headed towards the Recreation Club but was hit with another Falsie. Smallbone took the lead, heading East on Jordon, only to incorrectly take a right uphill, for whatever reason. This left Jackoff temporarily in the lead, until he was temporarily passed by Saddle, Emma Royde & Ice who led the pack to a park whereupon the trail passed along or inside the park fence. Most of the pack cut through a park field towards an open gate which, when arrived out, found Ice frantically trying to lock in order to keep the pack behind him.

At this point the track wound in, around, down, up, and through a great maze of steep park trails. The sound of check, On On, On down, On Up, and Are You could be heard throughout the area as pack members alternately found or lost trail or their place in the lead/rear or middle. Much short-cutting was to be had depending upon where you were in the park as the trail was solved.

Emerging from the park, the trail took a slight jog up another road before heading uphill through another short trail section. Rearender who was running well at this stage, commented that he didn’t like the run since it was so easy to short-cut, thus ruining his position status. Speaking of short-cutting, Ice showed up at this point and joined Spit or Swallow, Jack Off & Rearender as the trail emerged onto another road. Crossing a major road shortly thereafter, Ice was last seen heading uphill into no-where. The correct trail turned back again and circled back around the previous intersecting road.

A fast run back had the pack again crossing several major intersections before heading back down Cox’s road, meeting Kiwi & Smegma starting late, and home. Saddle & Camel were first in, followed by Coco (who may have been the most prolific short-cutter of the night), and most of the pack within 40-45 minutes. Ice was dead last having lost his way… again.

The Pre-Circle:

Back from the run, all were expecting to see Pussyfoot, water, beer, water, and Pussyfoot. None were to be found. After sitting around for several minutes, Camel, Tinks & JackOff wandered out of the park and lo and behold, along strolled Pussyfoot, fresh from his shower at home, but with no drinks in hand. Not to pleased, the assembled gentlemen, in sweaty running attire offered to assist Pussyfoot in obtaining drinks from the local 7-11 and/or Park and Shop a mere one-half block away. But, nothing could be obtained at 7-11 as Pussyfoot only had a credit card. Dump the drinks and head for P&S. While mucking about, Pugak showed up and kindly offered to find ice, of which P&S had none. Long story short – an initial supply of drinks were purchased and delivered. This was later supplemented just before the circle by a second trip to the store. At which time Pussyfoot buggered off, leaving the circle just as it was starting, and with the pack sorely wanting to drown him. Good run but not gentlemanly behavior.

The Circle:

The evening started to get better with an announcement that PORT was available. Pugak & Smegma immediately have a sip.

At 8:52 p.m. Kiwi calls the circle to order and nominates Squeak, Ice, McShite & Spit or Swallow as Amahs. McShite wins.

The Hash Master, Smallbone, starts the proceedings.

Grease the AMAH

In a break from tradition, the HM Smallbone then goes straight to the Awards.

	STFU thought he could get away with it...

(Ed Note: It seems we have an Awards availability issue! Bring back the awards please.)

On On to the Indian Recreation Club for Vindaloo Curry and more Piss.
