Sunday H4 – Venice Hill
We reached the run site just in time and me Mrs was still tired from Friday’s run. The weather was good, the sun was shining brightly. The run started while I was wearing my shoes and was asked to help look for the run setters (long run) that got stuck somewhere and could not make their way out! The phone call was that they are somewhere in the areas after the high hill. We went on a fast paced uphill that was very taxing and till the top we went on the ridge to go further uphill to look and another phone call also still stating the same; we searched the whole hill top and find nothing; another phone call stating that they had turned back and found the short run paper!; we started to go back on paper and was out in 2hrs! A good workout sweat!
The runs were screwed! The short run buggers couldn’t break the first check and all turned back! The long run buggers finished the run close to 2hr30mins after being led rounds all over the hills and nearly stopped short of the last check that they can’t find for more than 30mins! Finally broken, the front runner and the second were too far behind with the sweepers pooped out too! Hehehe……
The run setters were too confident and confused at the same time….remember when I wrote about setting runs when blah-blah-blah…..”it will eat you alive!” this was what happened yesterday. No one was lost, luckily.
Previously wrote, “forget about this and live to run another day!”….OnOn
