And they're off!

Munching on a patch of tasty green grass.

|
Not exactly the fast-paced race we had expected.
|
After several encouraging crowd waves, the pigs advance... a few meters.
|
Finally a big green umbrella arrives and they decide it's time to move on.
|
|
And the pace picks up down the home stretch...
|
...until hunger overtakes them again 2 meters from the finish.

The race is over and green wins!

Nate offers to get a refill.
