The Tortoise Had To Drop Out Of This Year's Race With Hare...

...due to a strained carapace. Luckily, chelonia  of the world will not be left unrepresented in this age old competition as Mr. Pain Ted Turtle has vowed to step up to the starting line and give Harry Hotfoot Hare a run for his money. 

Once again, a hat tip and my thanks to Deb H for another fine herpy pic.

All the best,
