Congratulations winners! I'm going to have my lunch now, and the triathlon will be starting once I get back so maybe around 12:45-1:00.

[RikkuGirl]

Awww! So close! Grats you guys!

Misery: Humpf *lifts up snout to the air and snorts out a blast of cold air* I didnt want to win that race anyways... when are we going to have ice/mountain races? *begins to walk away mumbling nonsence*

RG: O_< Ugh.. such a mumbler. Either way. Congrats you guys! Great job

[LvSoulFriend]

Congrats all!

*blinks* *eyes time* It's 3:20 here, so what would that be your time? XD

[Origami_Dragon]

Whooo! Go Jewel! You did it! Looks like you got your second wind there in the middle and found the strength for another big surge! Way to go girl!

Flare: *swims up and nuzzles his mare in an unexpected show of affection*
Jewel: *trills happily and flops over Flare's spiky back* I...*pants*...I did it! Now you...*pants*...go show them how well Flayre swims. *pants* Couldn't...have done it without youyre tyraining. *snuggles tiredly but happily against her stallion, grinning over at Cres in first place*

[silvermoondragon]

Sorry, that is in PST.

[AsaraDragon]

Oh, well done, Lagoon! Just like your mommy XD

[Origami_Dragon]

Y'know...one day I'd love to know what effects traits had on one of these races... I keep wondering if this trait or that helped them go faster or slowed them down...

Like...do fin wings really let you move a bit faster underwater? Does fluffy or extensive foot tufts slow you down in the swimming? Did aquatics get a boost over non-aquatics?

*ponders but pokes Flare to ready himself for when the last race starts up*

[AsaraDragon]

Congrats to the land winners also, and good luck to the triathlon participants!

I'm curious about traits too... I remember Sushi shared a bit about wings after the first set, maybe we can get her to give us a bit of info on other traits as well one of these days? Though I can't imagine Lagoon's wings helped -too- much, she had quite a slow start there!

[Origami_Dragon]

True, true, and Jewel had a few turns where she only moved one space, so she clearly had no trait that gave an overall movement bonus. And she moved six a time or two as well, so she didn't have any penalties either. But it would be fun to know some of the things that might have helped or hindered, be it on the obstacles or in general.

[Novanight]

Go The Typist Trio! *Cheers*

[Origami_Dragon]

Go Random 2! Make sure you keep stretching while you wait for your turn to move Flare!

[LvSoulFriend]

*cheers on the Speed Racers*

[silvermoondragon]

And our first obstacle is a tidal rip

[Janalee]

*waves a Raceayr Strike flag* XP Good luck everyone!

[LvSoulFriend]

Way to go Crash! Show that tidal rip who's boss!

[Origami_Dragon]

*tilts head at that* That sounds like a water obstacle... *wonders which position Flare's filling if not the water portion* Or maybe the order they're listed in has no relation to which part of the course they're running...

[LvSoulFriend]

I think he is, Ori, the sam images are just not lined up all the same XD

[Origami_Dragon]

That was confusing me then since most of the teams have the Sam I thought was their swimming in the last slot. But...I guess the blue background first should have told me the water course was up first...

*cheers Flare on* You can do it! Show them the old man's still got some speed to him!

[silvermoondragon]

Yes, sorry, the headshots are lined up in the order the forms came in. The race order follows the colours, water then ground then air.

Round 2 has our first swap, with the Speed Racers in the lead and Unrelated Action not far behind.

[LvSoulFriend]

Awesome job Crash! *cheers Mirage on*

[Origami_Dragon]

Confusion over...Ori is just easily confused sometimes.

*shakes head at Flare* You taught Jewel so well she handled all those obstacles she faced with no issues...then you get caught in the rip. Wear yourself out fretting over her without showing it boy?
