Copied and reposted on behalf of Justice Forum, Watchman.

Attendees were:
Ludwik Blookaxe, Recruit
Raiden Morana,  -The Boss-
Kelly Sanderson, Sergeant
Hoagie, Sergeant

Visitors:
Jackal and Amarante (from Buccs Den and Vesper)

Please excuse me as i'm still a little flustered and nauseous having seen the Capn's knees!


Sergeant Hoagie, as the winner of Justice's last event agreed to help out at the refreshment station in Vesper.

The athletes arrived and then changed into their running gear. I explained the rules to the gathered competitors and then opened a portal to Sarge Hoagie's new and handsome abode and said the magic word  - GO -

I then shot off to the first checkpoint and saw a very close race between Ludwik and the Cap'n. followed closely by Sarge Sanderson asking if we had started yet!
about this time our guest runners had to drop out.

The athletes then attended the refreshment stop and received encouragement (i hope) from Sarge Hoagie. I then waited to see the runners at the station outside the cemetery fully expecting the two men but no. to my surprise the Cap'n approached but with Sarge Sanderson in close (very close) pursuit and despite making myself a portal i only just beat them back but ........... *builds up tension*.... The winner was..........Can you bear it?.................. SERGEANT SANDERSON BY A HEAD!

A very very close and exciting race indeed and Ludwik wasn't far behind.

After checking all athletes had collected the random items we went to the parade square where i placed a golden box in the corner. In the tradition of events that i run i had placed 3 items chosen by Sergeant Hoagie and the winner would select their prize.

I announced the winner as Sergeant Sanderson and in true sporting fashion we applauded her though im sure i saw a prod in her ribs by the Cap'n though that may have been an illusion! The Sarge seemed pleased with her prize and well deserved!

Next up was the Captain himself and again thunderous applause greeted the announcement. Third prize to Ludwik, he seemed disappointed by coming 3rd but i will reiterate that people that challenge themselves will always win. and he was well applauded.

We indeed have athletes in cove and perhaps further on this year they may get the opportunity to prove we can be the best in Sosaria.

Watch this space...

Justice Forum, Watchman.


p.s. Sorry for the lack of sketches, the runners were too fast!

A most enjoyable piece of exercise Watchman... Nay wonder Hoagie volunteered ter man the refreshment stall. *grins*

I led from start to finish... Just where did Kelly spring from?

We were stride for stride as we approached the finishing line then Kelly thrust out her chest in true athletic fashion and beat me by a.... Head... As ye rightly say Justice. *shifty eyes*

*coughs*

Well done everyone.
