Bakarapet 2006

Lesson learnt in Bakarapet: When the hashers say you are drunk, you are really drunk

Running and beer happen to be both reward and punishment. You drink beer and punish yourself by giving yourself a hard run. You then give yourself some beer as a reward for the hard run which creates a beautiful circle made of beer and running. And this time, the circle was made of some good royal challenge beer and running in the mountains. The place is just out of the world. Running the route was a great pleasure and I got to train on some good hilly terrain.

Even after eight hours after the trip, I was hallucinating about sipping beer and having a pint in my hand. However, all I can see now is a bottle of water in front of me which tastes very good now. I have never seen cooks more passionate than the men at Bakarapet. These guys choose every ingredient with a lot of care and the food was very well prepared.

Bakarapet is definitely a trip that I can write home about and I will surely have some good stories to tell my kids.
