Tbilisi H3 500th Run Weekend

The weekend started with a farewell party on Thursday evening, for two local hashers departing for Bangkok. Friday evening we all met at Rose Revolution Square to board the bus for our ride out to the countryside. The venue was about an hour north of Tbilisi, at a lovely lakeside hotel. We had the whole place, so were free to wander about and get crazy. Trail started about 15 minutes from the hotel, and was an A to B affair through mostly farmers fields and forested paths. The hares asked for some assistance, so I gladly joined in to set trail, which we prelaid, and then ran along with the pack.

All was going as planned until about 100 meters from the end, when we encountered some neighborhood dogs protecting their turf (when we set the trail, we had passed by these dogs and did not get them too excited), but as the pack rumbled in, about a half dozen of us got to the dogs and slowed down, but Dildo ran ahead and blasted right into the dogs, and the biggest one took offense and grabbed onto his leg, which resulted in a quick trip to the local clinic, 15 stiches, and a couple lifelong scars to talk about. The Sunday hangover trail was mostly a walk around the hotel area, to a local craft cider bar way out there in the middle of nowhere. With the exception of the dog bite, it was a most excellent weekend with a bunch of fun hashers (7 of which got named during the festivities).Read more
