Hash

Ran about 10k today with a Nairobi Hash. For those of you who don't know this is the history: Hash House Harriers - British colonial officials and expatriates who would meet to follow a paper trail started the Hash originally in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1938. A “hare” was given a lead and had to run ahead dropping a paper trail, trying to create false trails to confuse the “harriers” who were chasing behind. Only the hare knew where he was going. Apart from the excitement of the chase, the runners were rewarded at the end of their run with a tub of iced beer.

Sounds fine in principle but in reality it's completely looney. As far as I can tell it's like a kind of freshers week for old people who live in a weird expat bubble, have terrible crude jokes and act a bit like a cult. Needless to say I won't be going back but who knew i'd be able to manage 10k in the nairobi sun after a days work? Somebody stop me!
