Steemit Ultra Marathon – Game four– round one results
And they're off!
No surprise, @toofasteddie is out to a quick lead. He's a fast lad and he's run this course before.
@amico is not far behind with @plankstoplanks also in the hunt.
The last three runners are taking a more conservative approach, knowing that this is a long race and they will need to conserve some energy for later on.

Nothing happens. The little pixies on the branch by your head say - "See, we told you so.", |

Do you like games?
Check out my Steemit Ultra Marathon game where you can win 20SBD for first place, 10SBD for second and 5SBD for third. Get your virtual running shoes on and get ready to run!
Also don't forget to check out my Dad's blog
Who else can tell you stories about impersonating an officer, stealing a military aircraft to go on a booze run, or steal military aircraft and go on an unsanctioned bombing run - and that's all before he turned 18!
Check out @len.george and find out what other madness he got up to!
Are you new to Steemit and trying to figure out what it's all about?

@toofasteddie is off like a rocket [just like walking behind a 'working horse']
something for you youngies to imagine
hahhahahhaha!
Ever tried it?
with our old horse, it was like walking through a green mist, you had to step sideways to get a breath of fresh air every two or three steps.
Well...let's say I tried it but in a different scenario :-)
You would know the origin of the statement then.
Just the memory brings twitches to my nose
Intoxicated by a mushroom?
hehe watch out for the magic mushrooms, they'll get you flying!
Shall i give up now lol
Its bed time for me :(
No, don't give up yet. if you look at the others, their icons are various shades or red or almost red. You are still green.
This is an ultra marathon, slow and steady wins the race. The others have suffered damage, which mean they can't run as far on the next turn. You are still fine, so you'll probably catch them up :-)
Can i throw stones at them to slow them down haha
I'll have to give you my numbers in the morning :)
*When someone tells you that what you want to do is impossible, change the word in your head to hard. What you want to do is hard. Hard is doable – it just requires dedicated work and effort and you can make it happen.

Oooh, fast start but I may need to watch it a bit so I don't bonk early on. ;)
Yeah you are looking pretty red already. Hint: look for a steep bit coming up and chose to walk it, that will improve your health while everyone else gets more damage by running up it ;-)
Good tip. ;) I need to map out my strategy...
Thanks for the gel.
I'm so lucky for finding someone on the side of the track that gave me that 'special' gel...
LOL! ;-)
