Sunday 20 May 2007
Run: 1201
Venue: Bagomoyo Beach Resort
Hares: Wet Dream, Boxer

If you survived yesterdays relay and the ON IN afterwards, you definitely needed a fine healthy run to start the day and bring you back from the dead.

Khight Support, who very kindly assisted the Bagomoyo relay, also sponsored an event T shirt to commerorate the weekend’s runs, and the pack set off resplendent in their new finery.

A scenic and history laden route was somewhat eclipsed by the peculiar lack of energy shown by most of the rather lacklustre pack. Typically, the Nairobbers led the pack and found trail, leaving other less ardent ‘runners’ to saunter along to the beer stop in the heart of Bagomoyo. A simple trot along the beach, hurdling anchor ropes as you went, (or limbo dancing under in some cases) then led us back to the circle.

When everyone did eventually return after their ‘morning stroll’, the circle planning had moved from banda to pool and back to the banda - decision making is sooo hard sometimes.

Wet Dream was somewhat hoarse and gratefully turned the circle over to the visiting GMs from Mombasa and Nairobi, with the traditional exchange of t shirts taking place. Quickly catching on to a good move, RA Bothways also passed part of her spot over to visiting RAs and so we were much entertained by a wide variety of songs and chants.

Incredibly the beer and wine held out against all the odds and no one needed to go dry before they chose, which was a fair time later as far as I could tell.

Thanks to Knight Support for a great T shirt and everyone who travelled to, or helped organise, a fantastic weekend.

Lets do it again next year.
