RUN REPORT

Chardonnay’s Troona Beach Far Away In Time Trail (a three-poop run)
5 February from Taroona Beach
Hare: Can’t Stop
Run Reporter: Red Dress

With the knowledge that a number of the gun runners were otherwise occupied tonight I thought it best to bring a running buddy, GiGi the Hash virgin doggy, to keep me company.

It looked like a huge crowd was gathering as we pulled into a parking spot, however on closer observation it turned out there was a large group of younger people. Had Can’t Stop pulled off the recruitment of the century for Chardonnay!?  Unfortunately, no, they were part of a school group who were gathering at the same spot.

The new Cummittee were still getting their shit together, as Grizzly assisted Cumonion & In the Raw to get the Square working so we could all pay up. Griz only dropped the F-bomb once, just as a couple of young girls walked by wondering what all the noise was about.

Can’t Stop assured us there were no hills as he had shagger’s back – lucky boy! Wee Bev and Poley were there to keep GiGi and I company on the runners trail. As Can’t Stop wasn’t doing the trail he advised us he hadn’t bothered to set a NDIS trail!

GiGi was a Hash virgin but she wasn’t a running virgin – it seemed as though she didn’t want anyone else in front of her, so it was with a sprint that we weaved our way through the walkers and took off to catch up with Wee Bev, who had bolted out of the gates.

We headed off along the foreshore trail and it wasn’t long before we found our first FT along with our first doggy bag job – good to get that out of the way early on hey!  Time to catch up with Wee Bev and Pole Dancer again and work our way past Growler, Grizzle, In The Raw, Lone Arranger, Topdek, Dyke and TwinkleToes with her four legged mate.

Onwards along the waterfront and through Taroona High we went not before we needed a second bag, which happens every now and again.  Further north down onto the beach and back up again, with Wee Bev, Poley and myself keeping together. As we made the turn south an extra long FT, so as not to run over prior trail but at least a chance for some to run through a sprinkler or two – I don’t know why they turned it off for you, Poley!

Up onto the Channel Highway for a bit, heading back south before we headed down into the local mountain bike park for a few berms and – would you believe it – a third bag was required! Now this is a record and I can only assume someone was trying to tell me that this was a shit run! 

Six kilometres gone and Can’t Stop had said it was going to be about six… well six-and-a-little-bit will be okay for Gigi, she’s done five before.  A bit of weaving here and there, back onto Channel Hwy, working our way south of the On-On, back down onto the beach where someone rightly so wanted to go swimming – not till we get to the p!ss stop mate!

Most of the walkers had made it back to the p!ss stop by now as we ticked over 8km and three poo bags! Probably the flattest run I can recall Can’t Stop setting. A civilised PS and back to the On-On with GiGi’s favourite, chicken and salad in rolls.

A good night, with a nice flat trail, good piss stop , tucker and Lips session, but it was still a (three) shit run!!

On On Red Dress & GiGi

Lip: Uber

  • Can’t Stop: Hare. Only set an NDIS trail because there were no athletes.
  • In The Raw: one week into the new Hashing year and already ‘fiddling the books’ (claims that he hadn’t paid).
  • Morticia: lined up to pay the walked away (tried to pay with Medicare card?).
  • Dyke: waited at the top of the car park until the Hash Cashiers had packed up before strolling up to pay.
  • Growler: thought she was using a ‘soft filter’ on her camera, but iPhone was telling her to clean the lens.
  • Dyke: managed just three chin-ups trying to impress the young bucks at the High School.
  • Vodka Cruiser: can’t remember.
  • Lone Arranger: moved her car so that it was close to the relocated On On site (to save walking an extra 50m) only for the On On to be moved back to its original place.
  • Topdek: 750 Runs!
  • Wee Bev: lost property.

Skols from the floor

  • ITR -> Red Dress: dog GiGi (the walking loofah) barking at a piece of playground equipment.
  • Grizzly -> Gingernuts: got excited about spotting a dolphin off the beach, but it was just a rock being lapped by waves.
  • ITR -> Dyke: complained that he had to do two days work this week, was knackered and needed a nanna nap.
  • Herr Flick -> ITR and Can’t Stop: p!ssing competition at the Full Moon Weekend. May have crossed streams.
