Royal Lake Club Harriers: Run 886 Oct 6 is an In Run - RLC

RLC Harriers Run #886 6 October 2015

Run Site : RLC and its vicinity

Hares : President Jon Azman and Chew Kar Meng

Weather : Slight drizzle prior to the run; thereafter fine weather

President Jon Azman celebrated his birthday in style, hosting a run

with our resident Elvis, Lawyer Chew Kar Meng. The trail led from the

Lake Garden and then towards Masjid Negara before crossing the

underground tunnel into the old KL Railway Station.

At this point, the smarter hashers made alternative plans to run back

towards the Club. The rest of the macho gang followed a route running

alongside Sungei Klang towards Brickfields, passing temples and

churches (indeed a very spiritual run). Then they turned back passing

Kuen Cheng School and after a long 9.0 km, made it safely to the Club

way beyond the usual one hour mark.

We used to run along the river (including an incident when a lady

hasher was nearly swept away in the torrential rain water - she

immediately resigned form the Section) and from there even ventured

through the graveyard behind MAPTB (remember the Dracula Run?).

Run 886 certainly brought back some memories, some pleasant and

others, not so.

The Bar did not open until 8.00pm, unlike out-runs when it opens when

the first runner on paper returns. UY would like to suggest that we

follow the hash convention of FROP signalling the opening of the bar.

Sticking to a fixed time does not give us the flexibility when say it

is a short run with FROP of 45 minutes and a long thirsty wait. I have

been told that this is a safeguard and preventive against non-running

hashers coming just to drink and eat. Now, who are these? They can't

be that many such hashers as to cause so much distress and anguish

arising from unslaked thirst. Please ButaButa GM, I will vote for you

again.

After the usual riotous Circle, we adjourned to Bunga Raya for a

slap-up meal. The hares surprised everyone by opening another barrel

of beer. Hurray!! We also feted President Jon Azman with a hearty

birthday song after which he performed a satisfactory blow job.

A good time was had by all.
