How's the RUN?
There was a short briefing by GM before the run followed by the singing of our National Anthem "Negara-ku". At 5:55pm (5 minutes early), Ben and Ivan led the runners into the jungle. 


This run was gonna be an easy 3.8km trail with treasures (small Malaysian Flags) planted along the route. These flags could be exchangeable for gifts sponsored by Brooks shoes and Jake's Charbroil.


For the initial 1.3km, the trail was very gradual, eventually climbing to a height of 188m. Checks were easy but the hashers moved at a much slower pace hoping to find the treasures. Many front runners missed the flag as these were cleverly hidden a distance from the track and some behind the trees.


We subsequently descended for about a distance of 100m before ascending a small hill. Thereafter it was all the way downhill till we reached run site. Front runners came back in 45 minutes. Average time was 1hr. Sweepers Dr Victor and Kelvin were back in 1hr 30 minutes.


During the circle, many hashers and guests were iced for various "sins" spin-up by Bonsai, Piss-stop and GM. There were much laughter, arguments and amusement but all in good camaraderie spirit. Thereafter, prizes were given out to successful treasure hunters.


Bak-kut-teh was served for dinner but unfortunately those who did not bring their own cutlery missed out on this delicacy. Reminder: Bring own cutlery as caterer has been told not to bring any Styrofoam plates or plastic spoons. If you are bringing guests, please inform them accordingly.


With music from Wild Boar's portable player, the party went on till  beers were all consumed ... see you guys at next week's run in Taman Wawasan. Virgin hare is Sonny Chang. Dinner at run-site.
