Falcon felt his speed picking up but it wasn't enough, he needed more. Maybe if he didn't concentrate so much on his feet it might help his speed. He started concentrating on pushing his legs hard, he was going to win this one. This was almost all just speed and endurance, he could prove that he was born to be a runner. So he ran as hard as he could, he was still consciously decided where to step and keeping his paws under him but he wasn't so worried about that now.

Today's race was different. They were racing down hill than back up the hill. He did so horrible in the other two races, he wasn't sure if He wanted to give this one a try.... but, no guts no glory right? Looking for a safe yet quick way down, he descended the hill.

Underwing stretched out her long, lanky limbs. She enjoyed a good challenge and racing was no exception. She did it for fun and, yesterday, she had almost placed. Almost. She and her brother, Oxslip, had a good run! So, she was back for a second go at things. The doe watched as the runner showed them the ropes, then quickly followed suit.

So far so good, Hydrangea managed to nimbly and quickly hop down, avoiding a few rocks as he went. He kept his eyes keen and his paws ever ready encase anything bad started to happen.

She got off at an even start, nothing spectacular, but at least she wasn't falling all over the place. Her paws did their best to hold her even and keep her from tumbling forward.

Well that idea definitely didn't work out. His feet were starting to skid now and he was losing control. He knew he could get really hurt if he wasn't careful here, he needed to get himself back under control. So he tried to grab some of the ground with his nails yet he still wanted to keep running. It was a hard balance he had to achieve here but concentration and skill would get him out of this.

Picking up a burst of speed, Hydrangea hopped quickly down, the bottom almost in sight. Only a few more hops and he would reach the bottom, but he wasn't exactly safe yet. Just when he thought he was doing well, a few lose pebbles slipped out from under his feet, causing him to slip just a bit. He caught himself just in time to avoid skidding the rest of the way down, but he still wasn't done yet.

Another wind hit him and he dashed down to the end of the hill, turning around and ready for the harder part... ascending.
