While I didn't go to the Hash this week, I apparently didn't write about last week. We started at the UH Astronomy Center on Woodlawn, with the pack off at 5:45. The route meandered through Manoa Valley streets, taking us past various points of interest: the Waioli Tea Room (where a big chunk of the pack went the wrong way at a trail check), lots of houses with unusual architecture, and a Chinese Cemetery. I had no idea that Cemetery was there, and it's pretty cool with unique headstones and monuments, it even has statues of the animals of the Chinese calendar.
Coming out of the cemetery, we had to cut through a hedge where there was a break in the bushes, and some guy on the other side yelled at us saying we couldn't go through there. We were already through, did he want us to go back? We just said sorry and ran on.
I'd guess we ran about 4 or 5 miles, with lots and lots of hills. You would think I'd be used to those by now, but they don't seem to be getting any easier. Had the on-afters on the Center's lawn, but I didn't stick around for long, it was just too windy and cold and I only had a t-shirt and shorts. I liked this hash, for a road run it was visually scenic and had challenging terrain.
