Day 21
Tampa Bay H3 #1183
January 21, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Yesterday, looking at the forecast for hash time today, there was a lot of rain coming. But that all seemed to blow over and trail was very dry today . . . well, except for shallow stream crossing that got the entire pack of 12 hashers shoes wet. After zigging and zagging down a few streets, trail soon found the shiggy and plenty of it. Even passed a few abandoned homeless camps on its way west to the railroad tracks. Crossing them four times, the pack had plenty of opportunities to see the hare (Hazukashii) up ahead, but there would be no sightings as he was just to fast. As mentioned, there was one shallow water crossing, but just a bit too far to jump.

I finished this four mile trail in just under an hour, and the pack streamed in about 10 minutes later. Well, except for Juban Penile and KISS, that somehow managed to wander off on their own and had to be tracked down and rescued. All in good fun, it only resulted in an extra down down in circle. After dispensing with all the post run activities, the pack adjourned to Hooters on Gandy for some football, beer, and assorted chicken treats. All in all, a good day.Read more

Day 22
Running the Causeway
January 22, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
An interesting suggestion came my way this morning, to run across "The Bay" . . . Tampa Bay that is. Dropping one car off on the east side, we then drove over to the west side to begin this run. Due to the shape of the causeway / bridge, you can see your destination the entire duration of the run. In general, the actual bay section of this causeway trail is 8 miles, but my run was 7.5 to get back to my car . . . and that was fine. There was a steady northernly breeze throughout the day, and it was a comfortable 75 F and sunny.

I was looking to average 10-12 minute miles, as I have not done a long training run in more than 3 years since my surgery, so this was going to be interesting. I ran the first three miles in about 28 minutes, then finished the rest of the way running intervals of 6 minutes run and 4 walk. Ended with an overall pace of a little under 11 minute miles. I'm happy with that.Read more

Taco Tuesday H3 #??
January 24, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
The actual TTH3 for today was rescheduled to next week, but did we care? HELL NO! We did it anyway. Nine salty hashers turned up for Taco No Taco We’re Doing it Anyway H3 out in St Pete. Hazukashii set a particularly shitty trail, that had two muddy water crossings (if you could not jump, or go around), on this 3.5 mile jaunt.

Shit happened, beer was consumed, we had a visitor from Maryland, and all was right with the world, at least for the 2 hours we spent together. Anyway, I think we should count this as a TTH3, and just have two of them this month. See y’all next week to do it all again. On OnRead more

The hares offered a Hocassan H3 (Delaware) style trail. It lacked a bit of flare, as it basically went straight up (north), turned right for a couple blocks, and went straight down (south), then made a polygon triangular shape at the bottom, sort of like a shovel. Kind of boring, but it was mostly well marked on this 4.5 mile trail.Read more

Trail started out in North East Tampa, off Fletcher Ave. A little far off the beaten path for the St Pete branch of the family, and the rest of the usuals were off on the annual Pirate Invasion Hash Cruise, enjoying themselves without us.
So that left us with one hare (Hazukashii), and a pack of 5. Those five were broken out as 3 walkers (KISS, On Ahead, and Free Willie), all of which finished the 3.5 mile walkers trail in just over an hour, well done.

The other 2 hashers were runners (Bovine and 2 Rung Circus). When you talk about BAZAAR, you would not normally think of these two (well, maybe), but today they both executed some pretty bazaar shit. Now the walkers had finished the trail in fine fashion, and found the refreshments, and we waited. 30 minutes later, Bovine come in to the finish, backwards, on the out trail. His excuse . . . he got to the check in that little circle in the bottom left corner of the picture, crossed the street and saw the huge flour arrow . . . but did he follow it? Hell No! Why you ask? Because the grass was wet. Our little Wicked Witch of the West might have melted. At least he found his own way back to the finish.

Now, in even MORE bazaar fashion, 2 Rung got to that same check in the bottom left corner, and claims he did NOT see the big flour arrow on the other side of the street. So after having gone right and into the woods, seeing only two plops the first time, thought HELL, let’s just keep going into the woods where there are no marks. I’ll eventually run right back into trail . . . or so he thought. NOPE. 2.5 hours after starting, and after the hare drove around the trail looking for him, 2 Rung finally goes into a hotel (less than half a mile from the start) (and oh yea, where he had followed trail behind the hotel shortly after the start), and called for help.

Lesson learned . . . BOVINE . . . you won’t melt by getting your feet wet. 2 RUNG . . . if there is no more flour, go back to the check and look around again.

My work is done here . . . well done to the WALKERS for simply following trail. The runners . . . not so much.Read more

It was another one of those Pittsburgh invasion hash trails. Probably the best one yet . . .

Plenty of shiggy was found out there a the Rye Wilderness Preserve. We have done a few trails out there before, and this was another one. 😊 Moon led up the effort, with a loop around the park, a beer check over by the Turkey Vulture hangout, a couple of fences to climb over . . . well, apparently we all went over one of the fences, until it was discovered that it was actually open. There was plenty of water crossings, and at one point (at least on eagle trail), when the hares appeared to be boxed in, some heavy bush bashing. All in good fun, and an excellent pre Super Bowl day of entertainment. Well done.

Re took us through the obligatory circle requirements, recognizing the hares . . . we also had a true virgin and now we welcome into the fold . . . Just Beth, who seemed to have a good time. We’ll know for sure if she turns up at the Taco Tuesday or Jolly Roger trails later this week. 😊 Everyone got their due in circle, for a fun finish to the trail. Always a good time at the SCH3.Read more

This was a special VD trail . . . well, Valentine’s Day that is. Dildo Shaggins took us for a 3.5 mile spin around town from Crescent Lake all the way to Coffeepot Bayou and back. Plenty of back alley twists and turns, plenty of grassy parks, and plenty of good checks (shaped like hearts) Awwwwww, so sweet. My only comment about trail, and you know it’s a fun trail, when all you can say . . . Not Long Enough. I wanted more, more, more (that’s what she said . . . we heard that a half dozen times around the circle tonight). 😊

We had a short, but well ordered circle, with a bunch of newbies on the TTH3 . . . and we had to say so long, farewell, a German word, goodbye . . . to Bubbles, who sets off on a great journey this week, hiking the Appalachian Trail. Happy Trails.

Then the hare went and invited all over to her place, for TACO heaven. Well done all around.Read more

It was just another S H I . . . T T Y . . . you know the deal. It was my turn in the barrel, and off I went. Trail zigged and zagged its way around Raymond James Stadium, behind the Yankee’s training camp facility, out past the juvenile detention facility, past a strip club, over through Al Lopez Park, commercial office complex, and back into the parking lot adjacent to Panera Bread for a 4 mile runners jaunt (the runner trail would have been a bit longer, but the security golf cart started chasing me through the office complex, so I just beat feet and headed for the street). The walker’s had a nice cutoff to make it in in 3 miles, beating the runners for sure. We had a surprisingly bigger pack than expected, as there were at least 15 on trail, and 11 of them went on to dinner after the poetically succinct circle by KISS. We had to say goodbye to the YINZers from Pittsburgh (but they are sticking round for the RDR out in St Pete on Friday. All in all, a decent evening of trail, but no jail. Good times.Read more
