For those of you not familiar with the Hash House Harriers, they are defined by the Atlanta kennel as:
The Atlanta Hash House Harriers is a Social Running Club that emphasizes fun (beer) more than competition. Our goal is pretty simple - get a little exercise, drink some beer, give each other a hard time, and bitch about stuff with four-letter words. At one of our fine hashes, which generally meet each Saturday at 1:30PM, you can expect to find a somewhat challenging cross-country trail, which will be marked in biodegradable flour. - you know, the stuff Grandma uses to make cookies. You follow this fine trail through all sorts of slop, muck and prickly-briar-filled bushes for four to five miles until you get to the end. Why, you might ask, would anyone do this? Simple Answer - BEER. The Complicated Answer - More beer!
It’s been years since I ran w/ a kennel and had forgotten about it completely. I just recently discovered around a dozen groups in the metro area alone. What a perfect place to play w/ mones. The mood is always playful to say the least. One local kennel requires “virgins” to sit bare assed on an ice block while shotgunning beer. Any ideas on baseline products that would “tolerate” some sweating? I plan once again to indoctorinate myself this weekend to the abuse, so bring forth the ideas!!!
I’ve never heard of a “Hash House Harriers” before, but one question: is there going to be ladies there or is it mostly a bunch of guys hanging out?
Assuming it’s mostly dudes I like Mtmjim’s idea of A314, but I’d probably thrown in a shot or two of spaceland or some io, preferably after the running and once the beer drinking has started.
SC, I’m concerned about the ~none in A314. If I remember ~rone can convert to ~none on the skin, especially when sweating. There are a lot of girls that run in the hash, thus my interest.
The hash started in the 1930’s by an English chap in Malaysia. Kinda started as a way to burn off a hangover. There’s a kennel in virtually every capitol in every country. Georgia has over 20 listed. While it is normally wild and rambunchous most do have a family hash on Sundays. If you travel constantly like I do for business it’s a great way to find friends almost anywhere you go. Then there’s the infamous “Red Dress Run”. Feel free to google it. There’s one near you I’m sure.
Valid point about the -rone to -none conversion, the only thing I can say about that I have worn A314 on my fair share of hot and sweaty days and I have had absolutely no problems what so ever with it. Plus at the age of 33 your risk of having a -none overdose is greatly diminished. So you could probably get away with it if you wanted to take a chance.
…But honestly if your main interest is to capture the attention of some fine ladies, I suggest you carry a to go bottle of ammo or IO in your pocket and when your done with the running part of the event discreetly excuse yourself and give yourself a spray or two of the good stuff.
