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.

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.

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 :-)

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 ;-)
