Concluded Run #669, Honda Ong @ Cheras Awana (29-11-2011)

Tuesday: 29th Nov 2011
Time: 6:00pm sharp
Hare: Honda Ong
Co-hare: Poker face Yong
Run Site: Cheras Awana

The Run
Run rating was conducted by Cartoon and he gave 9.5 over 10 points. This high rating speaks for itself as to how well the run was set including the organising of finger food and the On-on dinner at a restaurant in Tmn Connaught.  In fact, hare and co-hare did a recce on Monday. 

Rain had earlier started at about 3:30pm threatening to derail the run as in the past weeks. It was a heavy downpour but by 5pm it stopped! So future hares, please remember to give our in-house bomoh a big "ang-pow" to keep the rain at bay. That's what Honda Ong did!! (Scribe's note: Recce is important if you guys want to set a good run.)


All of us thought the 5.4km run was excellent. It started with a short climb for a distance of 800 meters, from an altitude of 90 metres (run site) to the first hill at a height of 190m.


The next 500 metres was downhill all the way to the valley, south-east of run site. From here, the ascend began. Turning northwards, the gradient became steeper and steeper but fortunately the trail wasn't very slippery. This climb, for almost 2km, took us right to the peak, popularly known as Station 6 - elevation 427 metres.

Most of us took a short breather here before commencing the descend. By then the sky was dark and in the jungle it was worst. Torchlights had to be used. It was gonna be another 2km before reaching run site. 1st runner came back in 1 hr 10 mins. Time for an average runner to complete this run was 1 hr 45 mins. Good run!


Circle and dinner
With the absence of GM Vpower who was busy attending to a multi-million dollar project (that's according to Piss-stop) and also the absence of Dr Lord, busy with the Bar Council protest, Chili Padi Karen took the box and called the circle to order. Stumpy was iced for not standing up (and playing with his balls) while the Grand-mistress took the box. James Bonk was also iced cos' he quietly "ta-pau" food back for his mother-in-law! 


THis run attracted 10 guests with 4 of them from Sunday hash. No wonder On-cash Silent Gorilla was smiling away!


After a short announcement, the party adjourned to Restaurant Tien Sun Tien in Tmn Connaught for dinner. Many thanks to the Hare, Honda Ong, for sponsoring the nice food and beers!!  See you guys next week at Connie Cat's run in Sg Long. On-on!
