Sydney Thirsty Hash House Harriers | Sunday, January 13, 2008 |
What can I say about the SydneyT3H?
Part of the hash house harrier movement, they classify themselves as a drinking club with a running problem, and on Thursday I joined them, meeting on the corner of a golf course in Cammeray and spending the next hour running with a pack, following chalk marks, a guy with hunting horn and people yelling On-On.
According to Wikipedia hashing began in Kuala Lumpur in 1938 and now there can hardly be a major city without a kennel of runners/drinkers.
The ‘half-way bucket’ which is drinks along the way was Pimms for the brave and water for those like me who hate Pimms or do not associate it with mid-run hydration. It was nearly 20:00 by the time we got back to the golf course for standing around in a circle and sculling beer based on various misdemeanours, or just newness in my case.
Very strange but I think I might continue.
