Thor
Adz
EH16
Max B Gold
Eliotnes
Dunners
Celtient

And we are underway.........

[Omygawd]

Approaching half way and the anticipated clash between Max and Celtient is a bit of a damp squib with Celtient slow out of the blocks and Max an impressive second....

[Omygawd]

Nearing the end and Adz and Thor are largely run out of it...........

[Omygawd]

And we are over the line: Every race so far has seen no false starts and no drugs cheats. #boarderskeepitclean

Max romps it, no sign of tuffers#1 (now sadly sidelined in this competition) and the tunnocks though. Dunners and Constanza progress to the finals, a creditable effort from our javelin superstars. Impressive overall skills.

[BIGRON]

And we are over the line: Every race so far has seen no false starts and no drugs cheats. #boarderskeepitclean

( good job they don't test for alcohol ) .

It is a pretty heavyweight line up featuring many Boarding legends. All honestly random guys, it is the way the virtual dice have fallen. Hardest Boarder Ron has finally made a final, Admin's thinly veiled threats have worked and others have the chance to register their second medal of the Olympiad.

[Constanza]

Haven't got my leg over this much since 2005.

[Omygawd]

Just off to Ditchfields, we've run out of caps for the starters gun.

[Omygawd]

It's OK, we've borrowed one from one of Admin's minders.

[Omygawd]

The competitors take their places, remember Ron this is a staggered rather than staggering start.

[StillSpike]

Biding my time - preserving energy by sliding home in 4th place each qualifying race. Now for the big whack of steroids, coke and red bull.

[Omygawd]

The starter raises his gun and fires.

[Omygawd]

Impressive, 2 pigeons with 1 bullet and a 200 metres final started.......

[Omygawd]

BIGRON, StillSpike and Eliotness quickly out of the blocks but we are waiting for the stagger to unwind before being able to judge accurately.

[Omygawd]

Probably a third to a half way through now, not a stagger in sight and this is close.........

[Omygawd]

The virtual dice are flying faster than the runner's feet...........

[Omygawd]

I think we are a toss or two away from the line...........
