"Race" Report: Freezing Cold Hash Run - Edison, NJ 5.43 mi
My first hash run...yikes..where to begin?!? An amazing time with lots of members of our running club and a fun group of hashers. Open bar started at 7AM with drink machines and jello shots replacing the usual pre-race carbo loading. We set off into the great unknown after a rousing version of the Star Spangled Banner by trumpet. Lots of confusion, pricker bushes, trampolines, mud, stream crossings, shot/beer hydration stations, sledding, more mud, hills, jungle gym/swings, rocks, roads, backyards, business parking lots, highways, mud, more shots, and general mayhem was had by all. A little over 5 miles and two hours later we emerged out of the woods and back to a nice spread of food and more open bar.
The event concluded with a post-race party at a local watering hole, complete with rousing songs, interesting awards, free draft beer, and flamingo chugging. NOT the usual race report :)
