Hash run in Saipan

Yesterday was another beautiful day here, headed out for a ride with Al, still trying to figure out the road bikes so we took our mountain bike.  We rode to Bird Island view point and the Grotto and then back to the hotel.  I forged on for the Tank to Tank swim and had a solid one.  In the evening, we were invited to a Hash run.  The Hash run is a group of people who meet at a specific point.  Then the " hare" or course marker will leave 10 min ahead and will mark the trail with flour, sometimes sending you in wrong directions depending of the markings.  Add the fact that is complete darkness and that you have a flash light and that you are running in rugged country, that makes it interesting.  It was a cool run and at the end, a few beers and Gatorade awaits.  Today is a day off, picking up a carbon road bike that is being loaned to me for the race.  The weather has been nice but I have seen more rain than the previous years.  That said, it's still 30 degree plus.  The weekend is almost upon us which mean its almost race time.  Happy trails!

Carpe Diem
