Run #67- The Peace Day Run Rehashed

Good turnout, though Tao was very late again. As we always said, one runner leaves, two more join, Luke brought one Aussie runner, Jami, who used to be the world No 3 triathlon althlete. Mini showed up with Miki, but left before the run with the excuse of being shy. Shagger came with two Sichuan beef jerky in pocket, wishing to give them to Alice, Deep Throat tried her best , still only one was given her to eat. Other hashers were Bestiality, David, S&M and Ivy. An on on was called and the path went around some houses with more than the usual quota of dogs, the pack quickly found ourselves running past our first RG accidently.Then a path through the tea field brought the pack to the stone steps, and then more steps and then steeper steps, then some narrow steps followed by one RG. Considering the heat and the mosquitos that we were desperately hoping to avoid, this RG’s waiting was extremely long, finally the later runners arriving after ages without revealing their bush loo story. Then the pack went up along a stone path again and then along and up, and down a bit then up, then along a bit then up, then up, then up. Along the way the pack regathered with some mosquito convention. So bad was the constant buzzing that the RG was immediately skipped once later runners arrived, which made Deep Throat complain a lot. Torvill wiped ” n’t” off “don’t hate us” left by guilty hares on a stone bench . As a former triathlon runner, Jami was always pushing from the front, and he even had to run back every now and then to cope with our pace. Soon the pack passed a pavilion and a stele which enabled us to be absolutely sure we were on Southern Peak, then some more steps which led to a wonderdul lookout and a RG circle combined with the CB circle, also the Peace Day circle. Whereupon the pack went back down and found the correct flour trail down straight.The final stretch was relatively flat and uneventful, after passing a village, it was back on Santaishan Road for a very long run back to the start.As a driver, david shot off immediately to avoid a down down before a circle was formed. Several wrong name infractions, virgin down-down, Luke’s new shoes violation (he refused last time), so the beer was quickly consumed. As per normal, passerbys were curious of hairly laowai with shirts off. We were warned to leave as soon as we can this time – the restaurant was worried about the parking space we stood on a lot. Later on, the crew went off to Shuguang Road for dinner. So that was Run 67, proper road, but numerous ups and downs, and long, typical Acronymph’s style. Scribe was also appreciative seeing Battery Operated made her hare job after many days apartment looking and today’s removing; good xiao mei. on on
