Hadrian was not too far now from the ship, having passed the crowd of people. Indeed, he was beginning to feel the toll on his arms, but having taken it relatively slowly after his massive sprint previously, he would say that it really was not too bad. Dragging himself forwards with steady strokes, Hadrian reached the edge of the ship. But a queue on the single ladder already formed, so while he could have scaled the ship within a few seconds with strength like his, the people before him were making it challenging to. Not that he minded, he was going to get up there eventually, it was just a matter of whether he would emerge victorious at the end of this. A win would be delicious after the bitter taste of Ilvermorny's loss. The Wampus had not even got off the bench before the opponent seeker swiped the snitch. Hadrian would just have to suck it up.
The traffic of players up the ladder was a dread. Taking this slower was a little frustrating, but Hadrian eventually climbed aboard. Now, without a cloud of students in front of him, he could run. Feet moving in a jog he began.

It seemed Della got the hang of the water and its obstacles on her second try. Of course, it was embarrassing to fail so badly the first time, but it only gave her more determination on her second go. She dashed around the obstacles, figuring out how to maneuver her body around them, working with the water, not against it. There were other swimmers all around her, but she tried to ignore if they were in front or behind her. Because there were so many twists and turns in the water, it was hard to tell anyway.
Success! She made it through the lap, and she found herself staring up at the large ship. She could go to the next round if she could get up to the deck. That's where they were doing the running portion. Excited, Della grabbed hold of the haul and begin to clamber up. She wouldn't say she had the best upper body strength, especially with how tall she was. It was a struggle to pull herself up. And now it was interesting to be out of the water. While swimming, she could only hear the splashes of her limbs and her breath as she came up for air, but now she was acutely aware of her competition: how they were faring and what they were saying.

@Avery Chen as Akira ShimizuAnd finally, they were done with the swimming portion of the event. Grabbing a hold of the ladder, the Indian boy paused, standing still for some moments to center himself.
Ache and tiredness were there, yes. But the wardrum of his heartbeat was all he could feel. Shamsi blinked, looking around to try and spot the other champions, but he could see not a single one. For ll his bluster, he could not suppress the bitter pang of disappointment.
This not about winning the race. If anything, it has to be about not giving up and finishing this marathon. A firm reminder, forcing himself to not give in to other thoughts. He could really not afford negativity right now.
Shimizu-kun had made some comment that he did not quite catch, but the defiant smile on the other boy's face told him all that he needed to know.
"If you've got the energy to banter," he ground out at his schoolmate. "Then you've got the energy to keep going."
A small smirk crept onto his face, as he shot back at the Shimizu-kun. "How about we take off the practice wheels and step it up a notch, hmm?"
And with that, Shamsi gave his companion a fraction of a second before bursting into movement.
Break was over, back to the darned race!
The curtains fell. And the silence was deafening

═══════════════════As one of the first swimmers to finish that particular portion, the ship’s ladder was still uncrowded and available for grabbing as he tread before it. Aurelia promised to catch up with him later, and he found himself dropping the subject with an exuberant nod, fingers tightening around soggy rope as he pulled his weight from beneath the waves. In the conversation and play-splashing, he did not notice his school peer slinking in front of the pack.
“Right on!” he exclaimed, urged forward by the familiar encouragements. In Lysander’s mind, this was one of many reasons that Durmstrang Quidditch had previously dominated their competition. Not only were most team members physically inclined for this sort of test, but they were akin to a family who only wanted the very best for one another. As he felt for Aurelia, he hoped and expected that Romeo would finish the triathlon strong.
He did not climb the ship as coolly as his fellow Chaser, a ladder-climbing pleb, but quickly enough both feet were planted solidly onboard. While he stretched his legs in preparation for the next task, Lysander thought of his cousin’s whereabouts. She would have surely enjoyed searing the ship and its details to memory.

───•─•────────────────────────────────────•─•───Farther... farther... the distance only lengthened. The distance she still had to travel...the distance between herself and the others...the distance from the shore. She hadn't even managed to finish her second lap yet, and already she could see people attempting to climb up the boat. Disheartening wasn't a strong enough word. She felt empty. Pocked. Like a vessel that had run aground, it felt as though she were starting to take on water, to be laden down by a weight that bore down upon her. Her limbs were starting to move sluggishly, and what determination she'd once had was seeping into the water like blood from a wound. Was she really this bad? She'd always thought herself a decent swimmer. She was light and swift and fond of the water. Yet here she was, falling ever so far behind without a hope in chance of ever being able to catch up. Still, she would paddle. The strokes boggy and slow. Her limbs heavy, and not quite wanting to work the way she wanted. But she would keep going. She would keep going until they said she couldn't. Pride was on the line at this point. There was no way she would admit defeat. That Durmstang would be shown to be weaker than she'd already managed to do.Action: Just doing her best T_T

Current Progress: Climbing... Level ONE?
───•─•────────────────────────────────────•─•───Water dripped like diamonds in the dust, sunlight refracting through the particulates and scattering them into a million facets of spectrumed light. It was refreshing. In the water, she had grown accustomed to the temperature, and although every stroke brought with it a fresh induction of cool air to stir and bubble within the liquid, the submersion had only been so effective with the use of a body suit. There was only a small difference outside of the water as well, but evaporation off its surface would at least allow her to lose some of the heat she had worked up in completing the swimming portion of the race. One section down, two to go. It seemed she would be faced with trials sooner than she might have hoped, however.
True to her fear, the ladder proved to be slick, only worsening each time water dripped from those above her to wet the handholds anew. She hadn't gotten very far before she could feel her hands slipping, and try as she might, she couldn't quite hold on. When the situation had tipped beyond the point of recovery, the prefect would push herself off against the side of the boat rather than risk injury in attempting a dangerously precarious scrabble of recovery. Eyes clenched shut and hands protectively over her head and face, she would crash into the water again, taking a gasping breath once she had crested its surface. The race really wasn't going in her favour at all, it seemed. But as she would remind herself, the hare didn't always win the race. Tenacity could prove just as fruitful. And so she would swim back to the ladder and try again.Action: Climbing aboard the ship

Sophia winced at the poor boy lagging behind in the swimming obstacle. She wasn't much of a swimmer herself, so she could hardly tell if Florian lacked technique, or if it was just plain bad luck, but the poor boy was still attempting the second lap. Feeling a bit of pity, Sophia called out.
"Might wanna give it a rest! That water's not gonna get any safer!" she shouted, calling to have him pulled out of the water. It wasn't that Sophia didn't have faith in him, but exhaustion and fatigue could cause some serious issues if he didn't get out of the water soon.
Greta, for her part, seemed to be have a burst of proficiency, because she soared ahead to the next lap.

It was a bit hard for Sophia to keep track of everyone, but she fell into Pax's place relatively well. The third lap was where it got interesting.
Astrid had quite the comeback, finishing the lap with relative ease despite a close couple of previous attempts.
Unfortunately, Haven, Chiaki, and Quentin weren't so lucky, and the lap seemed to be just a bit too much for them. Sophia called for the worst of them to be pulled out with a pitying wince, but Haven still seemed to have some fight in her.
"Are you okay?" she called out to the three of them in concern. "Let's get you out of there, before you drown!"

Sophia's gaze wandered to the climbing portion of the event. It was supposed to precede the running portion, but Sophia felt exhausted just watching the group trying to climb the side of the ship.
Stephen had a healthy lead so far, reaching the top with a combination of luck and skill, but it seemed Vivienne was hot on his heels.
Aryaan, Nessie and Akira followed behind, fairly well-matched against one another vertically. Sophia bit back a joke about 'Nessie' climbing out of the water. It probably wouldn't go over too well in Scotland.
Louca and Oliver scrambled up at their own leisurely pace. The skill was there, but they were still straggling behind the group.
"Watch your ankles!" Sophia offered in warning to the climbers. A rolled ankle would just be awful before the actual running began.
Unfortunately, whether it was because of disadvantageous footholds or just bad luck, Evelynn, Reena, and Della didn't quite make it to the top.
Sophia simply prayed that they would be okay. The last thing they needed was a fall into the water. Especially with her in charge of moderating the round. Her swimming was far from decent.

The front of the pack, Sophia noted, was the front of the pack for a reason. Every single one of the students in the front was an absolute animal, capable of feats she'd never even dreamed of.
Aurelia dodged the fiery flowers with skill the likes of which she could only dream of.
Only slightly behind Lysander, Raphael and Hadrian did the same with such grace and poise that Sophia only wished she had a camera to capture this spectacle.
In a big mass of bodies that were dodging the fiery flowers just as well - if not as showy - Ayako took the lead, followed by Bloom and Katherine, Romeo, Sara, and Lysander. Despite the large group they seemed to be running in, their moves were no less impressive as the weaved in and out of the fiery, flowery onslaught.
Just near the rear of the group - though still very impressive, for having made it so far! - ran Howard and Verona.
Sophia heard once that the biggest goal of a triathlon was to finish. It seemed this entire group had received that message loud and clear, if the motivation on their faces was anything to go by.
"Whoo! Keep going!" Sophia let out an excited cheer, unable to help herself in the face of such intensity. It was quite the electrifying event.

Hello friends! I'm taking over for Pax because of real life issues. This is my first post in this event, so if you notice any issues, please let me know and we can address them! I'll be taking over the next post as well, most likely, and then the round after the running round.
If there are any concerns or questions, please owl me or reach me on discord at Bluemane#3444.
If you fail Round 1: Level 2, post redoing Level 2 IC (your second lap around the ship).
If you fail Round 1: Level 3, post redoing Level 3 IC (your third lap around the ship).
If you fail Round 2: Level 1, post redoing Level 1 IC (climbing onto the ship).
If you fail Round 2: Level 2, post redoing Level 2 IC (running a lap and dodging the fire flowers).
If you are moving to Round 2: Level 3, post doing Level 3 (running a simple, exhausted lap around the ship).
Remember to not say if you complete the laps or not, as that remains to be seen.
At the top/bottom of your post please state what level you are on, to help the mod out later.
Reminder:
- All players need to post before the deadline.
- Deadline is around 7 days after the mod post, which is September 28th (I am very lenient on extensions, though, so please let me know if you need one!)
- The word count minimum is still 200+ so make sure you meet the requirement!
- If you fail a level once, you get +3 to your next roll+stat. If you fail a level twice, you get +5 to your next roll+stat. If you still fail, then you get eliminated from the game.

\ Fingerless Glove on Right hand /

A small reddish glow off to one side causes me to hesitate, and with a flash of intuition I stop running and instead leap back just in time for a burst of fire crackled by me. "JEEZ-UZ! That's not on!" That was way too close for comfort.
Despite a number of people passing me by, I only huff and wipe back my brows, now assessing this new situation and my next plan of attack.
I really should invest in a hairtie, shouldn't I? Would circumvent the whole "potentially getting my hair singed off" thing, wouldn't it...
Yet despite this sudden and flaming surprise, I wait patiently as each gout of flame passes by before making and advance, relying on my ability to spot the flame beginning to spark and making educated guesses on how long it will be until the fire leaps into the playing field. Eventually, I make it past the worst of the flames, and the rest is smooth sailing. Somehow... I wasn't the last person to finish the lap, though I knew that I would have to make up for lost time somehow.
Perhaps this next lap would help me to achieve that.Running R2L3ReducioStats:
