Run No:	1646
Date:	30 July, 2005
Location:	Sai Kung (A-B Family Day Run)
Hares:	Cabbage

Hareline:

The Birthday Boy/Hare…. Talking BS (see the bell!)

The Pre-Run:

Hashmaster, oh wise one, tell me again why we want to run?

Beer... that's why...


I know a secret…. Ice isn’t wearing any underwear


And then Coco actually said he thought he was going to get lucky tonight!

The pack listens to the run instructions…….

You want us to do WHAT?

A relatively small pack of stalwart runners gathered at the Sai Kung promenade next to the bus terminus. Tinks and the hare, Cabbage were seen lurking about early on, but soon disappeared. Entertainment was provided by Ice & Coco who quipped about this and that. Honorary gentlemen, including Agnes, Slippery, and Malau chit-chatted with both Dot Cum and Periodic who had decided not to run. Harry and Chris, junior Coco’s watched all from afar… and listened to the incredibly bad Chinese band playing nearby.

As the clouds gathered and rain began to spit, Cabbage arrived to announce that he would be live haring this run. Usual markings, but if front-runners arrived to a certain check before a certain marking was in place, they were to hold and await the arrival of the hare setting the long trail.

Off Cabbage ran, leaving the pack waiting for the usual 15 minute head start while Whippy & Camel hauled the bags up to “B” in Cabbage’s French cr*pmobile.

The Run:

Leaving the promenade, Smallbone & Jackoff led the pack towards the mini bus terminus and the expected first markings. But, upon arrival in the general area, nothing was found. So, the pack headed up to the main Sai Kung road, again expecting to find markings. Again, nothing.

At this point, the front-runners continued left on the main road and the rest of the pack abandoned them to turn back, eventually finding trail along the waterfront.

The Waterfront trail route	Scope... a friendlier version of the dogs on-trail

The initial trail did in fact head along the waterfront before weaving its way back to the main road where Jackoff & Smallbone had already found the trail again. Sorting out the check at the road crossing, the two front-runners became separated

The trail then would up, down, this way and that, forwards and backwards. All supplemented by a vast quantity of checks, check backs, dogs, dead ends, and slippery walk-ways. A truly BRILLIANT trail. The pack was totally confused throughout this truly magnificent piece of trail setting.

Smallbone & Jackoff finally met up again at the reservoir road near Cabbage’s where a check again separated the two front runners. Smallbone chose correctly, Jackoff did not.

Meanwhile, speaking of wrong way, Ice was seen running off the wrong way, far back in the run. Never to be seen again during the run…..

At 38 minutes the front-runners arrived in at “B” to be met by Whippy, Pugak, Dangerman, H Whore and his daughter Helen, Lettuce, Anita, and the rest of the non-runners from “A”. Dribble & Dogbite arrived next, followed shortly by Agnes and the boys. The balance of the pack and women arrived within the next few minutes. But, somehow, Ice managed to turn this little jaunt into a 1 hour 28 minute half-marathon. Of course, at last in (again), he muttered something about being 1st on the run but wanting to do more. Right……

The Pre-Circle:

The long wait for Ice gave the alternate runners, Dr. Evil & Saddle and other non-runners including Maggie, Smegma and Myrna, and Kiwi plenty of time to arrive before the circle.

Is my daddy going to have to look for Ice?

Ice is still out there?	No, I don’t think Cabbage should go out looking for Ice, don’t you agree Dr. Evil?

But, eventually things had to get going… and “fortunately” Ice showed up.

At 6:12 p.m. Kiwi called the circle to order and nominated this run’s amah’s. Nominees included Ice, Smegma, H Whore, Dangerman & Mr. Whippy.

The winner of this weeks lottery is Dangerman, but he doesn’t get to go to the “island”. Mr. Whippy gets to assist.
