Welcome to the first Race!
Althea will be hosting, so listen up! The Owsla-marli doesn't care to repeat herself. Best of luck, and Frith-speed!
Muttering to herself, the massive Owsla doe approached the gathering or rabbits and stood up on her hind legs; checking to make sure her own son had taken his position further along the top of the Down before she spoke.
"Alright you lot. You all know why you're here, but in case you accidentally wandered over to silflay, let me say it again."
She surveyed her audience to make sure she had at least the majority's attention before continuing.
"The warren is in need of runners. Frith knows not every rabbit is made for the job-"
Her smirk was self-depreciating, her own breed known for their size and not their speed, nodding as her voice increased in volume.
"So we'll hold races from Ni-Frith to Fu-Inle` daily until we've seen enough of you with potential. Today's race is a very simple one; start at the large beech tree above our warren. Then run as if the Thousand were after your tail to the other end of the Down before you have to head downhill."
Raising her head again to look above the rabbits gathered around to glare out in the direction she indicated that they'd be running to, Althea tweaked an ear and got like in kind from her unhappy offspring.
"Crow, that black buck yonder, will be keeping an eye on you and how quickly you're moving your paws. So, to be clear. Start at the tree, head towards that black buck there, turn around and run back to the tree. At your ready."
She didn't even bother to ask if there were any questions before taking her place right in front of the tree, settling in to graze and keep her eye on the contenders.

Patchouli was raring to go. The young, spry buck stretched out his limbs and listened to the massive owsla officer. He'd not had to be knocked around by her a few times, but he was a young thing and an eager thing. He'd had a few tiffs with other, smaller officers over some petty misbehavior. Still, he was a good lad and quick on his paws. He hoped to show his mettle in these races, to prove he was more than just some young upstart.
