Four hashers (twice the minimum required!) slowly assembled at Nimitz Park on an overcast, yet surprisingly warm afternoon to partake in Could-Be-You Run #443 on 17 March. First on the scene was Akagay, followed Texas T-Bag, Chainsaw Assacre and finally Screw Driver. After a few minutes of indecision, Texas T-Bag agreed to hare the “first leg” of the run. Since being snared on a similar Could-Be-You run a few weeks earlier, this time TTB made sure to have a solid plan for the first 300m of trail. In what can only be considered in the same light as reaching the summit of Everest, swimming across the Mississippi, or free climbing Yosemite’s Half Dome, Texas T-Bag led the pack along the best impromptu trail of the year! After crossing Albuquerque Bridge, he took the trail around Kyosai Hospital, under Sasebo Chuo Station, across the Yonkacho Arcade, across Route 35, then back into Yonkacho Arcade, and finally east across Route 35 for the next 1:45 of trail. The trail gradually ascended through the alleys and stairways of Miura-cho, further up to Yamazumi-cho, along the east side of Shirahae Elementary and eventually up and over a patch of forest to Kosasebo-cho. From there the trail gradually returned toward Sasebo’s Public Library, then through Sailor Town and back to the usual finish location.
The hare finished at 15:54, but the first bastard in (Chainsaw) didn’t arrive until 16:20. Post run reports revealed nobody slipped on the rocks in the forest, a farmer might be missing a few oranges, and a sexy young vixen with legs up to here (sorry, no visual for reference) was seen exiting a taxi cab and entering the Love Hotel near Chainsaw’s apartment. Throughout the down-down, Screw Driver slowly nursed her bottle of water, except when forced to pick up her pace through drinking down-downs for being the first biach in, the last biach in, and for being a short cutting bastard. Chainsaw consumed a few down-downs for being the first bastard in, while Akagay was slower than molasses. He did, however, manage to do some nampa on trail, but modestly claimed the intended target was “just a friend”. Pink Sausage arrived in the circle about half way through, but somehow managed to avoid being tagged with any down-downs. Yours Truly had to abstain from all alcohol because of the need to drive back, but Chainsaw and Akagay managed to finish off a few fine BEvERages. Aside from some bits of green clothing, the most notable tribute to St Patricks Day was shown in the O’Doul’s fake beer that TTB had to endure. Yadaa!
On On, Texas T-Bag
