RLC Harriers Run 841, 25 November 2014

Hares : Lee Buchan & Jai

Runsite : Lake Gardens & its vicinity

Weather : Intermitten drizzle

At around 5pm, rain started coming down. Then it stopped and the sun

came out, producing a glorious rainbow. But this did not last long and

the slow but steady drizzle accompanied us all through the run which

started off in the direction of the Panggung Anniversari before

meandering out of Lake Gardens, past Tun Razak Memorial and then to

the multi-junction that led to the Polis Museum, Planetarium and the

National Museum. There was a check.

After some ten minutes, a shout of On! On! was heard at the back of

Tun Razak Memorial and we descended into Lake Gardens again. Another

round of walking/running and soon we were within visual contact of the

Club; here many could not resist getting out of the miserable rain and

made a beeline for home.

The other more robust hashers ran off into the green yonder and

towards the final bit, had to traverse another bit of jungle in the

dimming light of the day ... didn't they learn to keep the last bit of

a run on the road? As all the trail was more or less skirting the

Club, a few at a time found their own way home ; the weather was

really not conducive for staying out and running in the cold when a

hot shower beckoned.

The Circle at the Gazebo was enlivened by certain hashers who have

submitted their forms to stand as candidates in the upcoming AGM. But,

as usual, legs were pulled and ridiculous charges were made to ensure

the beer barrel was emptied. The shirkers who did not venture out were

identified when our Bomoh made a check around the Club and caught them

exercising in the gym, texting near the barbershop, swimming in the

main pool like Johnny Weissmuller (only those over 60 will recognise

the Olympic swimming champion who gained fame as the best Tarzan of

the silver screen) or generally lepakking.

The dinner was bryani rice made from the best basmati rice and

accompanied by either chicken curry or mutton curry or both. Quite

delicious but a tad tame (next time, put in more chilli) ... and we

continued wining and dining and having a jolly good time.
