RLC Harriers Run 822

Hares : Calvin Chong & Professor Tie

Runsite : Rumah Bakti, TTDI

Weather : Gorgeous dry weather 

It was a public holiday and the Long Run started at 5pm to take

advantage of the longer daylight hours available by an earlier start.

The trail started off up the tarmac road leading upwards towards the

hill. Everywhere, we could see broken bits of Mother Hash paper ...

they had run there the previous evening.

Soon, we deviated right into the verdant cover of the Kiara Hills. The

range is so diverse that we went up and down the same hill without

seeing the same spot twice. Then we were led down to a most quaint

stream of gentle mountain water and somehow, the brook carried away

our fatigue and we were raring for more as we climbed the hill once

again towards home ... or so we thought ...

But, no, there was Tan See Meng with his horn at the junction

propelling would-be SCB's upwards towards another round of

hill-climbing. And so we went obediently like lambs to the slaughter.

In between, there would have been much thrills and spills but for the

dry weather that made the hill-side trail firmer and totally

un-slippery.

As we staggled in, totally drained and exhausted after the 8km run, we

heard the FROP was once again Mike Kuan at 77 minutes. Then we sat and

waited for the stragglers like Dato Steven Oon with his entourage of

two non-virgins, StiffFanny and WoWoo WoWoo YeaYe YeaYe (char neen ho

kor mor tai peh). They were slightly ahead of Tommy Chin at 7.20.

The lack of checks (only three) allowed the front runners to lead by

more than an hour. Whilst the run was excellent, the checks were not

since they did not act to compress the stretch and bunch the group.

Tarzan had demonstrated that with a judicious number of checks, the

back-benchers can come back within half an hour of FROP. Perhaps, he

should conduct a tutorial on how to set checks.

As we waited for the back-markers, there emerged some voyeurs who took

delight in watching Uncle Yap bathe. Ooh's and aah's accompanied every

move he made across his body to wash away the dirt and sweat of the

day and when he washed his mid-body region, pandemonium broke out ...

the sexcitment was too intense. Next time, I will collect money for

tickets to watch 

The Circle, like all RLC Harriers circle, was another hilarious affair

with one and sundry taking to the floor to charge one nonsensical

accusation after another ... people who miss the circle do not know

what fun they are missing. And the golden elixir went like hot cakes

(pardon the mixed metaphor) as the dry and parched weather was

conducive for the consumption of beer, supplemented by an extra case

due to the number of guests.

We then adjourned to Sun Yow Tak Theng, a restaurant cum coffeee shop

for some delicious food, washed down with some bottles of wine, beer

and two bottles of Scotch, courtesy of the two hares.  

C'est la vie or that's life in French.
