[silvermoondragon]

Ok guys, of our 25 entries, random.org has chosen our racers! Hopefully I'll see some of you tomorrow to cheer on the racers and see them over their hurdles.

[Codress]

Boogers didnt get in this one *snaps fingers* maybe next time ^_^

congrats to the racers and GOOD LUCK!!

[Operetta]

Well, it looks like I didn't get in this time, but good luck to all the racers that did!

[hardwired]

I kept checking, did I mess something up? Where do we see the race? Am I having a time conversion problem again? LOL Wouldn't surprise me. I am sorry if I was looking in the wrong place. ^.^

I didn't know if it would be PI time or forum time. Maybe I haven't missed it?

[silvermoondragon]

@hardwired - it's 7:00pm PST tonight so you haven't missed it. I'm not to familiar with PI time but I think that would be 3:00 on the 24th PI time? The race will happen right here in this thread.

[hardwired]

Oh thank goodness! I was having a bit of a panic attack right there. LOL

[silvermoondragon]

@ hardwired - Don't worry you're not required to be around for the race, but it certainly makes it more interesting when people cheer on their Samanayrs.

[hardwired]

I am here for moral support! Plus I love an opportunity to cheer everyone on. XD

[tierasa]

I'm intrigued to see how this goes. I really enjoy the races, and I missed the last one. I wonder how Spite is going to do. He's none to happy about being made to race, but Retinue wasn't interested. She's still complaining about how the fog from her last race messed up her mane. Hehe.

[LvSoulFriend]

I'm curious about how well my Mystic boy will do with 6 legs >> Eheheheh *flees from him*

[silvermoondragon]

Welcome everyone to our Olympic hurdle dash! The racers stand in line at the start, ready to start the race. The hurdles stand along the track in front of them, perhaps a little daunting to some.

[silvermoondragon]

As the starting shot fires, our racers are off. Look at them go!

[silvermoondragon]

The hurdles slow down a few Sams as they run along the track, but there are many more to go.

[tierasa]

Come on, Spite. You can do it. Just muster a little effort, old boy!

[LvSoulFriend]

Come on Earth! Move those legs in unison! Front pairs, back pair! Up and at 'em!
