Our First Run Around A Track

Yesterday (21/1/07) we had our first run around a track. We all went to a schooling track with our mum and walked out into the middle of the track. Our Mum then had a four bend handslip, which means she ran one complete lap of the track starting from being held by someone and let go as the hare past, not out of the traps while we looked on. It was very exciting!!!
Colin and Joani then had their go, having a two bend handslip (half a lap of the track) together. Colin really went for it and sprinted after the hare as soon as he was let go. Joani was left behind a bit but was soon gaining on Colin and by the time the hare stopped, had caught up to him! However, they liked it so much, they decided not to stop and run another complete lap before deciding to stop.
Next were Freddie and Brutus. Freddie started first taking the lead, Brutus was a bit hesitant at first but as soon as he realised Freddie was chasing the hare he soon followed. Freddie took the bends very well considering it was his first go so beat Brutus and even dived into the hare at the end!
Moley was last and so ran on her own. She chased hard and went into the hare at the end, just like Freddie!

We all enjoyed ourselves very much and are looking forward to our next go in about two weeks time!!

Bye for now,
