Samanayrs

*cheers for Bound*

Good luck, racers

And they're off! Almost right away our racers come across a very dense forest, will the racers manage to navigate the narrow openings?

Huzzah! Slice can now join three of his four mares in the circle of race champs, and can officially negate the reduced breeding chances caused by Misery. 8D

Major congrats to the other two as well, and good luck to the Ground 2 and Flying racers! :3

I would like a Rarity Modiem, please. <3

*cheers on Mystic, and everyone else* XP

Pacing yourself, are you Prize? *watches him get a feel for the mountain and scout out the trees ahead*

Oh my, I'm glad I tied that scarf around Dive's wings... That speed demon would be itching to stretch her wings and go really fast.

Looks like she's getting distracted!

The trees seem to be catching up most of the racers but one. How will this effect the end results?

Oooh, quite the pile up there...only three Sams not stuck. Watch your wings Prize! They may not be as delicate as full faery, but they're not as tough as full draconic either!

Prize: *rolls his eyes at the human telling him about his wings and continues threading his way through the forest*

A few more racers have gotten out of the forest, but it still remains a challenge for some.

Edit: Read that wrong! Dive's in third!

Dive and Wrangler, go go go!

One of the racers has made it high enough on the mountain to reach the snow, that's sure to slow things down a bit!

Oooh, looks like the snow's going to effect the entire last section of the race! And Prize is being overly cautious about those trees...don't think he can see what sort of a lead the others have over him right now.

Dive, don't freak out, you do great in snow!

Darn, I wish I had entered with Eve now....

Hey guys, I'm sorry I'm going to have to pause the races for a while... my dad just called and wants to take me for an early dinner. I'll finish things up as soon as I get back!

I'm really sorry to leave you all hanging in the middle of a race.


The race continues and more Samanayrs reach the snow.

Okay, back to homework! Have a great time with your dad!

Ah, Dive's reached the snow!

No worries Silver; enjoy your supper!
And Mystic, try to not hate the snow so much! *grins encouragingly as he glares at her*

Have fun at dinner!

*shakes head at Prize* You silly goose...did you honestly get lost in that little stretch of trees? I guess this is what happens when you take a desert dweller up to the mountains.

Good timing, actually; I have an apron I need to finish painting. I would've sat here watching the races run the whole time instead, otherwise. XD

Haha when I finally make it XD Have fun Silver!

Omigosh, I hadn't expected Automaton to have run as well she did, given how the Robot Elemental was weighed down by all of her metal armour. Although she didn't win- coming in eighth place -I knew she had a lot of fun. So, I'm proud of her! <3

Congratulations to Kagari and Wanderer, Bluestarwolf12 and Slice, and SunBlind and Journey for coming out victorious in first, second and third respectively!

Well done to everybody else too. I have to concur with Jenn-- this was definitely one of the closest races we've seen to date, so it was good that we had a Sharian arbiter close at hand to ultimately decide on placements. All in all, it was a good, clean race around the hotsprings.

Best of luck to the participants of the second ground race and the flying race!

Congrats to the winners of the first race!

Echo isn't doing so well.. Oh well he is having fun in his first race

Ooh! Best thing to come home to!! Thanks for the congrats guys, and great job to the other winners.

*snugs Wanderer*

*shakes head and sighs at her mare* Guardian got way too distracted by those obstacles but she did her best and not too badly at that... XD Congrats to Kagari on winning Yip! She's so fluffy. :3

I'm eager to see the results of the next two contests but real life comes first. And I think the races are great btw! I hope there are more of them in the future.

These races are kinda fun XD
