Samanayrs

And they're off! Soon our first racers will be doing their first trick.

10 racers stand at the top of the hill ready to start the race

Congratulations!

@Esperanza - no problem, the hair clips are only equippable to the winning Samanayr. The race info thread http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2333 actually goes over all the prizes if you want more of a refresher, or you can ask, I don't mind.

Ooh, I might be able to catch the first couple of minutes before I head out to Abbotsford for my work Christmas party. I'll probably miss most of the fun though

Welcome back and congratulations on the new job, hopefully things work out for you!

silvermoondragon would love any gift!

Since you can select accessories, I would prefer the Play Wings because anything feather related is awesome!!!!

*runs through thread sprinkling tinsel everywhere*

Oh thank you Sushi and random! It really is amazing how much detail and shading you managed to get into an all black Samanayr.

and congrats to Britain and Orasteele!

but but... the eyes are yellow not black XD

Hmm, I think I'm looking forward most to getting a bunch of things done and the end of a bunch of drama I've been dealing with in a club I'm a member of. But also the entire holiday season with all the Christmas lights, songs, and the day itself of course.

@ ElvenArcher - They are all Triathlon Triplet Amulets, and therefore give a 10% chance of triplets, and give the wearer a special trait as listed. There are just different types of the amulet depending on what trait it bestows upon the user(generally a trait relating to threes). I guess technically...

ElvenArcher , Origami_Dragon , and Harroway please look through the choice of triathlon amulets and let me know which one you are picking, there is only one of each triathlon amulet available. Echos , CosmicDragon , and Amazondreamer please let me know what modiem you would like as your prize. Espe...

A wave of racers cross the finish this round, with more not very far behind. It was a very close finish for three teams but The Underdogs managed to squeeze ahead of the other two claiming second place, with Team Nameless squeaking in behind to claim third. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk185/s...

And with a strange turn of events(low rolls...) the question of second and third place remains. Our next round promises to be full of suspense as we wait to find out the winners.

And our first team has crossed the finish, congratulations to the Midnight Runners! Now the question remains, which teams will claim second and third?

Our final obstacle shows it's face this round, strong gusts of turbulent winds blowing down the sides of the crater.

A few of our racers are now passing the race on to the third and final section of the triathlon. Our flighted racers must now fly back to the top of the opposite side of the crater.

Some of our aquatic racers now come across their obstacle, a patch of dried up oasis they must pass over.

This round sees a few more racers trading off for the second section.

This round brings our first racer to the oasis at the bottom of the crater to trade off with their aquatic partner.

As the starting bell sounds, the racers begin navigating their way down the crater, some of the racers coming across our first obstacle, a patch of rough crumbling ground, very easy to loose your footing.

As the race gets set up, a selection of Samanayrs stand(or float) at their starting position, stretching and readying themselves for their signal to go. Our first team members, for the ground portion of the triathlon, stand at the top of the desert crater ready to make their way down to the oasis at...

Ok, the racers are now posted. We had 9 teams and our random teams actually worked out very nicely in the end. If you are on one of the random teams and would like to add a team name for fun(instead of random1/random2) just let me know and I'll update it.
