Some of the runners have been putting in some serious training ahead of Interhash, running the Goat Track and Mt. Mee, getting their hearts pumping and their feet wet. But now it's time to taper...and an easy 8 km circuit (with virtually no elevation gain and no creek crossings) was the go this Sunday. The walkers headed off in the opposite direction and most completed a 4.5 km circuit around the village. What was that about short-cutters? Surely not....
Back home at the hares', we raised a sad glass in honour of Lax's mother, who'd passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Saturday morning. As Le W*nk said, she was not only Lax's mother, but also her best friend and companion. A very heavy blow indeed.
We enjoyed vats of chili followed by ice cream, while we messed up the beautifully clean verandah floor that Make An Offer had spent the day gerni-ing. Many thanks to our hares for a well-marked trail, a great meal, and a clean floor!
Faint cries of "Help!" alerted us to the fact that Snappy had trapped herself in the toilet. And then Idle Vice did the same, providing a good excuse for a song.
And while many of us will be heading off to Queenstown this week, Charcoal will be heading back to hospital for a bit more souping-up and tuning using after-market parts. He was looking fit, and he should be looking even fitter next week. We wish him well.
Here's a selection of Snappy and Saucy Sous' Dayboro photos - thanks to them!
Hashers begin to gather in the heart of town:
