Four Veggiehashers, Tarzan & Jane, Jack and Jill signed up for the 2000th run celebrations hosted by the Penang Harriettes from June 25 to 27, 2010. The highlight event was the Saturday Ballbreaker run which everyone thought would be easier than the one organised by Penang Hash last December. How wrong they were. This was one grueling ballbreaker! Only about 60 hashers out of the nearly 500 sign-ups for the main event dared to take on the ballbreaker challenge. Only half that number finished “more or less”. Only 15 or half of that number finished 100% on paper. Our very own Jane was one of them – bravo! Tarzan, Jack and Jill only managed to finish 75% of the trail. Unfortunately for the Penang Harriettes, their ballbreaker trail was sabotaged by some unsavory parties. Kudos to the Harriettes and the hares responsible for the amount of effort and care taken to put together one very fine red dress run & dinner on Friday. 4 different run on Saturday and one washout run and lunch/tea on Sunday. A marvelous job!

Run 53 was a well-attended run with over 40 hashers. After the pictures were taken, another dozen or so latecomers waltzed in. Buffalo and his able co-hares set a killer of a run. Warnings were issued before the run that the second hill would be challenging and about half the hashers decided to tackle this killer second hill. Dr. Gila was initially the first runner back after 40 minutes. He realised he missed the second hill and was promptly escorted back in a 4×4 to finish off the second hill which was specially dedicated to him. A special mention surely must go out to first-time hasher Niran who decided to do the second hill and whilst finding this run impressively tough, he’s glad he did it. By the way, he was the last runner out at 8pm. Circle was called by Tarzan at 8.30, sinners punished, hares rewarded and the like. Dinner was served at 9pm. A special thank you to Sharon for thoughtfully bring along vegetarian porridge for the hungry hashers. A couple of possible homicides were prevented after Tarzan pacified Dennis Khoo who was angry at some hashers’ pronunciation of Penchala which made it seem like Menjalara. Apparently that’s where he was circling for more than an hour looking for the run site. Easy on, Dennis!
