Last week's Run Report

Run 1537 The Sinterklaas Run
Date: 8/12/2019         
Location: Dong Nai

There were a large number of brightly dressed Hashers in festive mood on the bus this week, all excitedly anticipating the visit of Sinterclause. As he is slightly older than your average Hasher, Sinterklaas had decided not to join us until after the run. He had delegated the setting of the trail to this weeks hares Turn Off for the Ball Breaker, Shithouse for the run and Runny Yolk for the walk. The trail was beautiful with so many river crossings that the walk turned into a team building exercise were a variety of bridge designs, usually based on the basic idea of throwing a branch into the water,  were employed in a desperate effort to avoid getting the bottom of their shoes wet. Sexy Eyes and Sachi decided to opt out of this choosing instead to paddle around splashing those crossing the bridges. The runners also sped through the river crossing barely even noticing the efforts of the walkers. Pekerhead did however notice the specially designed spider's web trap which he ran straight into leaving him with a new phobia of webs on the trail. The Ball Breakers trail was perfectly long, although the check was far too straight forward leaving many of the runners lost and confused.There were also mature plantations of cashew and rubber and an excellent example of the restorative power of nature in the form of the quarry which has been reclaimed by the plants since our last visit. There were also beautiful vistas and plentiful photo opportunities to keep everyone happy. 

Walk report  was given by Barking Mad who awarded it a score of -6.9, Pekerhead awarded the run a silky 3.2, Precision Tool felt the Ball breaker deserved a -9 and Mr Purple walked around the bus and gave it a score of 6, and thus the overall score was -1.675.

The virgins were Yizhou from Shanghai, and Tam, Yang, Vi and Xuan from Vietnam who all came thanks to their friends. The returnees were Precision Tool who has been everywhere and nowhere and Dung who has been chilling out in Binh Duong.

The GM then reclaimed the circle in order to admonish the Binh Duong Hashers, they had left our visiting French Hasher unsatisfied, when told not to take their bottles something had been lost in translation and he had been anticipating a gang bang! Fukcoffee would have severely reprimanded them but he was forced out of his own circle by Shithouse who was far too excited about the imminent arrival of SinterKlaas to do anything apart from lead the singing to welcome him in.

The singing was successful and SinterKlaas wobbled in, he had sacked his Black Peters for being to controlling and the result was a rather exuberant night on the town in preparation for the Hash. He then set about charging the naughty Hashers for their misdemeanors over the past year. Down Easy was charged with finding it so easy to go down that he had been doing it backwards. Sinterklaas then wanted to insect Pole Polishers new bionic knee on the pretext of being concerned that if the other knee were to be updated the rest of the Hashers would find it impossible to keep up with him. Happy Flasher was called in for either being hot or wet but never both at the same time. Sexy Eyes was called in for writing too much trash. I Choked Linda Lovelace was charged with being too fast for the walk and too slow for the run, with walking when he saw an R and running when he saw a W,  and finally with causing the hares to lose their hair as they attempted to accommodate him. SinterKlaas then turned his attention to Fukcoffee, their are worrying rumours that on the hash away to Ly Son Island he had been more interested in finding coffee than beer, in the words of Sinterklaas “fuck coffee”. In and Out and Broken Seal were then called in and congratulated on making so many of the Binh Duong residents come. Finally Sinterklaas had a bone to pick with Sloe Gin. It seems she has been using the Hash as a training ground for trail running and obviously this has resulted in her winning many medals. This may mean that other trail runners will realise what an excellent training ground the Hash is and decide to join us. Whilst this in itself may not be a bad thing, Sinterklaas is concerned about the quality of the Hasher this will attract; after all the most important thing to remember about the Hash is that “we don’t run for medals we run for beer!” By this time Sinterklaas was starting to tire so he declared the circle closed with a cry of “let’s get this party started”. The Hashers graciously complied and the business of drinking and eating began in earnest.

At some point Sinterklaas quietly slipped away. This was about the time that Runny Yolk reappeared, she was obviously devastated to have missed Sinterklaas but there was plenty of beer for her to drown her sorrows.

That's all for this week.

Sexy Eyes signing off.
