Hmm...intriguing. The time difference since I'm on EST, would mean that the first leg would start...7:30 PM on Friday? I just might apply for this one if Katsuya's Race doesn't pick up.

I'm happy to take any questions you might have.

Also there shouldn't be much of a problem should Kat's race run over schedule, considering the legs are generally several hours apart.

Aw, knowing Level 5 won't be joining is totally devastating! I need moral support from my alliance! :P

And glad there will be some new people in the game. You are all welcome!

Sorry, I'd blocked you so you couldn't bug me about Antoinette & Portia. But I'll still give you one chance with this.

Well I was rooting for you after I got knocked out of Katsuya's first season and that worked out okay, so I'll just do the same here. Except, you know, I'll have to support you while asleep this time (I just wrote 'this time I'll have to root for you from my bed' and nearly didn't catch how wrong it looked). And won't be egging people on to avenge my elimination. But I also have to support DDU for his Aussieness and pino for his fierce Asianness... this is getting confusing.

In a controversial move, my official pre-favourite is whoever smiley comes up with.

Thank you, L5! Until Thinga's race actually comes, I hope you don't just give up on Kat's race already. It's still and only halfway through.

And we might have our first smiley win this time in Thinga's race, who knows?

Nah, I haven't given up, I'm just not expecting Stella/Starr to last much longer. Damn real life keeps interfering with my ability to stay focused on virtual races.

Yeah, me too. I've been super busy since that week when I had to miss a leg in Kat's race. Working all the frigging time really gets my head spinning.

Now I have two reports to finish until next week. And even more exams to come. Just kick me in the groin already.

While I'm supposed to filling out scholarships and college applicatoins, I instead applied for this Race. :) Could someone make me an avatar of the team below, with the Eiffel Tower in the background? It's Sly (the raccoon) and Murray (the hippopotamus), but Bentley (the turtle) will also be tagging along.

The timing's okay with me, but this race comes at a very bad time (crap, that's oxymoronic) because I'm having my end-of-year exams in a couple of weeks and my GCE O'Levels in a month so I won't be able to join... but rest assured that I'll still catch up on this race.

Darn, with Level 5 not joining, I'll need to find another team to root for...

I might as well join this race too. Hopefully I can actually make the start times. I have had a terrible track record of missing legs and being eliminated early in these races.

Beware, that is what I did for ATTAR2. On that intense Korea leg, I had two apps due the next day. That made the race twice as intense. Then my parents came downstaris and saw I wasn't doing my apps and that made the race three times as intense. Then I got eliminated and it really ruined the rest of my week because my parents forbode me to go on the computer until I finished all apps that were due for the entire month. RIP Dash and Coco.
