Run: 919 Hare: Ah Siaw Reject Venue: Betong / Villaraya Cohares: (local) No Hair, Yee Mai (foreign) ...
The hare had his run in Betong, Thailand, leaving the rest who could not make the trip. I was assigned to help him set his local run and a small crowd was expected to show up. So, we were late to our own time and after getting ready and finally able to start, we went off at 4:20pm.
We started with the climb headed towards the clearcuts and climbed into the jungle midway for some canopy shade. The climb was slippery till the offtracks and following downhill till the OP. A right turn, we got into more OP and went uphill till the high tension pylon. I then lead them for the steep downhill till the fish farm ponds where a check there had the pack confused.
I went left towards the long gradient uphill trail in between V-shaped foothills. We went up till the end of the trail and made the rocky climb to reach the top trail. At that time, Chickadee called to inform not to set the trail too long as there were only 2 of them at the run site! Well, we had gone too far to make it a short run and could not change anything at that point, so we went on ahead to finish setting the run.
We just followed on through with the trails and cut short at some point to make it shorter but still it was a long run back. We reached the run site around 6:50pm and waited till the first runner came in at 7:45pm, Dipstick! The other 3 were Pengsan, Cha Cha and Long John Silver, while Chickadee, Blood Donor and Gary came back with Dipstick’s rescue car around 8:20pm.
The run was about 8km long with a 5-km home trail run! Long here, short there (Betong)! Circle was very short to adjourn to Zuan Kee Restaurant for good sponsored makan! The party ended when the restaurant closed at midnight!
