Attendance: 55 members + 15 guests
Hare: Ben & Co
Translate this to Chinese
How's the RUN?
There was a short briefing by GM before the run followed by the singing of our National Anthem "Negara-ku". At 5:55pm (5 minutes early), Ben and Ivan led the runners into the jungle.
This run was gonna be an easy 3.8km trail with treasures (small Malaysian Flags) planted along the route. These flags could be exchangeable for gifts sponsored by Brooks shoes and Jake's Charbroil.
For the initial 1.3km, the trail was very gradual, eventually climbing to a height of 188m. Checks were easy but the hashers moved at a much slower pace hoping to find the treasures. Many front runners missed the flag as these were cleverly hidden a distance from the track and some behind the trees.
We subsequently descended for about a distance of 100m before ascending a small hill. Thereafter it was all the way downhill till we reached run site. Front runners came back in 45 minutes. Average time was 1hr. Sweepers Dr Victor and Kelvin were back in 1hr 30 minutes.
During the circle, many hashers and guests were iced for various "sins" spin-up by Bonsai, Piss-stop and GM. There were much laughter, arguments and amusement but all in good camaraderie spirit. Thereafter, prizes were given out to successful treasure hunters.
Bak-kut-teh was served for dinner but unfortunately those who did not bring their own cutlery missed out on this delicacy. Reminder: Bring own cutlery as caterer has been told not to bring any Styrofoam plates or plastic spoons. If you are bringing guests, please inform them accordingly.
With music from Wild Boar's portable player, the party went on till beers were all consumed ... see you guys at next week's run in Taman Wawasan. Virgin hare is Sonny Chang. Dinner at run-site.

Tom Cat (Fennie)'s run @ Pantai HillPark (23rd Aug 2011)
 |
| This is Fennie (Tom Cat) |
Tom Cat's run @ Pantai HillPark at EveryTrail
Attendance: 45 members and 8 guests
How's the Run?
Run was rated 8.5 points over 10 by Kelvin. Distance covered was 3.5 km. Front runners came back in 58 minutes. Average runners came back in 1 hr 20 minutes. Elevation: Run site 90m, Highest 160m, Lowest 40m. It was like a roller-coaster ride with 4 hills to climb, including the Telekom tower at the 1.8 km mark. After the Telekom tower it was a steep journey downhill to the valley before ascending again to the Watch Tower (at the 2.3 km mark). Not a long run but the co-hare (PokerFace Yong) cleverly set the paper trail along very steep gradients to compensate for the shorter distance.
After a short circle which ended at 9:10pm, the Hare served "Yong Tau Foo" for dinner at the run site with plenty of German beers to go along. Thank you Fennie and best of luck to you.....
See you guys next week at our Freedom Run.

Run #654 - Silent Gorilla @ Penchala Link (16th Aug 2011)
 |
| Silent Gorilla |
Date: 16th Aug 2011
Time: 6:00pm sharp
Run Site: Penchala Link
Attendance: 50 runners
Silent said, "18 members went to Vietnam and did not come, I bring in 19 guests and we still have 50 runners ... so don't play, play with me ya!"
Run rating by Chili-padi Karen: 7.5/10
Distance: 6.5km
Run site elevation: 90 meters above sea level
Highest elevation reached: 299 meters at the 2.6km mark
Lowest elevation: 52m at the 6km mark
Front runners came back in 1 hr 25 mins
Sweepers Baby Crocodile, Cartoon and a few lady guests were back in 2 hrs 10 mins.
With Phang Joe as the master mind, we would expect a challenging run with tricky checks. True to form, the trail started off with a steep climb immediately as we entered the jungle. It continued uphill for almost 1 km until a height of 273m. It was steep!
We then came upon a wide footpath and gradually descended for a distance of 500meters where the front runners found the 1st check at "Simpang Lima" (Junction with 5 roads). For a good 8 minutes, the front runners scattered all over looking for the next paper. One hit a falsie before Bak-kut-teh Heng finally broke the check. This was a good check, as by then the back-runners had caught up.
Silent Gorilla's run @ Penchala Link at EveryTrailThe paper trail led us northwards towards Penchala link highway, then turned westwards and subsequently ascending up the summit. Terrain was very steep and slippery. It was hard work for the next 400 meters until we arrived at the 299meter summit of this hill. We continued northwards crossing over the Penchala link tunnel. At the 3km mark, the downhill track became very steep and dangerous. Here disaster struck.
Thorny ass Jason slipped and badly injured his left knee. He couldn't walk, but eventually struggled (with help from our comrades) to reach an illegal indon settlement at the 4km mark. We asked for help to ferry Jason out on a motorbike. Fortunately, a kind Indon gentleman with a bike obliged and we left Jason to continue our run.
Following the paper trail, it was gonna be another 2.5km before we reached run site. The bike went the other way out towards Kiara Mas.
When we reached run site, Jason was still not back yet! We feared for the worst. We waited and waited and then news came (Jason's wife called Peter) that both Jason and the Indon guy had an accident while on their way out .... apparently, Jason had borrowed a mobile to call her.
Our sweepers came out at 8:10pm but there was still no sign of Jason!! Everyone tried to speculate what went wrong .... from Hungry Ghost month to .........
[to be cunt-tinued ....]
20-Aug-2011: The story continues here....
Eventually Jason came back to run-site about 8:20pm. According to him,the jungle track was very narrow and uneven ... it was dark and the ride was very bumpy. Then probably the motorbike must have been too near the edge of the hill and the Indon guy lost control. Both he and Jason dropped into the ravine. Men and bike were flung downhill for at least 20 ft. Jason was in great pain and eventually the Indon guy helped him climbed up, back to the jungle path. He limped all the way, with help from the Indon guy, to Kiara Mas condo. There, he borrowed a mobile from one of the security guards to call his friend living nearby. He later called his wife. His friend came and took him back to run-site while the poor Indon guy went back to the jungle searching for his bike. Ah, .. have you heard of Murphy's Law?? Also this is run number 654. In cantonese it means "Lok Um Sei"
This is really very unfortunate but luckily both survived the fall. Jason told the Indon guy he'll visit him when his knees are better ...

Run #653 - Goldfinger @ Gasing Hill (9th Aug 2011)
 |
| Goldfinger |
Date: 9th Aug 2011
Time: 6.00 pm sharp
Attendance: 60 runners
Run rating: 8/10 by James Bonk
Distance: 4.4 km
Average time to complete run: 1hr 30 mins
The RUN:
This was an average run of 4.4 km. However, the trail was made interesting and exciting with the inclusion of a circular check. At least 20 runners. including the usual front runners (Ben, Ah Heng, Big Mouth & Yak) were caught by this tricky check at the 1.7km mark. Lembek also "kena".
The trail started from 140m elevation, since our cars were parked near to the Telekom Tower. It was downhill for about 400 metres before climbing to a height of 210m. Gradient was steep in some parts. The hare then took us downhill, then uphill again going through a huge circular track before descending to the eastern side of Gasing Hill passing an Indian Temple (this is the smaller of the 2 Indian Temples in Gasing Hill).
From the Indian Temple, we turned onto a tarred-road (Jalan Kubur). As this road name says in Malay, there is a muslim cemetery nearby, though none of us mentioned anything cos now is the Chinese Hungry Ghost month...um .. anyone saw or heard anything strange??
Circle was conducted by Joint-master, Dr Lord with lots of laughter; and after many "asses" were put on ice, the party moved to the nearby Kam Kee restaurant for dinner (& beers) sponsored by the Hare. Thank you Goldfinger, but still no gold bar for us ah??
