8 Hash Trails in 8 Days

It all started out innocently, with the usual biweekly Sarasota Circus hash on Sunday, the weekly Jolly Roger hash on Wednesday, the biweekly St Pete Hash on Friday, and the biweekly Tampa Bay H3 on Saturday . . . but it was also the end of the month, so the 4th Tuesday Taco Tuesday hash dropped in. But it was also that time of the month, not that time, but the Full Moon, so add the Tampa Bay Full Moon hash on Monday. Since it was the end of the month to start the week, it overlapped into the new month, so we had the monthly first Sunday of the month Bay 2 Beaches hash on Sunday, but wait . . . there is more. The bimonthly (or whatever) Lakeland H3 had also planned a trail for Sunday. If you add all that up, by total coincidence, it was 8 hash trails in 8 days in the greater Tampa area. At the start of the week, I jokingly said “bonus week” for whoever wants to run them all. Picking up momentum, and after the first three trails, we still had 5 survivors going into trail 4 on Wednesday. One more dropped out, and by the one down day on Thursday, we had 4 survivors ready to run that last 4 trails on Friday, Saturday, and two on Sunday. Completing the first trail on Sunday, we then jumped into cars for the 40 mile journey to Lakeland, on the East side of Tampa. By late on Sunday, our dimwitted, tired, and thirsty final four had completed over 32 miles of trail.
