Dunt-da-daaaaa!

Hey, it's me austin!

I'm a racer.

And this is how a race starts.

First,
you get into position

When you hear
"on your mark"...

Then,
you get ready to run

When you hear "get set"...

And then,
when you hear "go," you go!

And when you win,
you say "I won"!

Duntda-daaaaa!

And they give you
a gold medal!

But the thing is,

I've never actually
won a race

And I really,
really want to.

Maybe today's the day
I'll win

Because it's racing day!

♪ Racing day,
it's racing day ♪

long race ♪

♪ This race goes
almost every place. ♪

♪ It's fast, it's long,

Duntda-daaaaa!

Hello austin.

Ready to race?

Hey tasha!
I sure am!

What's that?

Oh. This is
my race pack.

What's it for?

It's got everything
in it

A racer could
ever need.

You can never tell
what can happen in a race

And I like to be prepared.

Excellent.

So let's go!

The race starts
in the forest...

With trees,
and bushes,

And a forest path...

Austin:
and a starting line?

Tasha:
of course!

Here's the starting line.

When I say go,

The racers start running
from right here.

First you have to run
through the forest...

Then snow-board
through the mountains...

Then paddle
across the ocean...

And last,
hike across the desert.

Wow,
this is a long race.

Well, it is the race
around the world.

The first racer
to get back to the forest

And break the tape
at the finish-line

Gets this gold-medal.

Austin:
wow!

Okay,
when I call your name,

Come over to
the starting line.

I really hope
I win this race.

Tasha:
good afternoon sports fans

And welcome to the race
around the world.

And now,
introducing the racers!

Here's pablo!

[Applause]

Dunt-da-daaaaa!

Tasha:
pablo has already won
a gold medal

In a running race.

And here's tyrone!

Duntda-daaaaa!

Tasha:
tyrone has already won
a gold-medal

In a snow-boarding race!

And here's uniqua!

Duntda-daaaaa!

Tasha:
uniqua has already won
a gold-medal

Paddling in a kayak race.

Wow! Everybody in this race
has a gold medal...

Except me.

Tasha:
and introducing
a brand new racer -

Austin!

That's me!

Tasha:
austin has never won a race,

But he is prepared!

Good luck,
austin!

Have a great race!

Happy racing day!

Thanks.

Tasha:

I said go!

Austin:

Tyrone:
whoops!

[Panting]
jump's up ahead.

But that's cool with me.

I'm not just good
at running,

I'm great at jumping.

I'm so far out in front,

They'll never
catch up to me.

I'm going to win
this race!

Tyrone
that pablo sure is fast.

But I'll catch up to him

When we snow board
through the mountains.

Whoops!

Whooaah!

Whoa!

Ouch, that hurt!

[Grunts]

Whoa!

Phew!

Uniqua,
are you okay?

I hurt my knee.

Hey, I've got a bandage
here in my race pack.

Thanks, austin.

You're welcome.

I've got everything
a racer needs

Right here in my pack.

I never thought
I'd need a bandage.

You can never tell
what will happen in a race.

That's why I like
to be prepared.

Good point.

Now let's get back
in the race.

Okay!

Brrr.

It's getting cold.

Snow boarding!

That's the next part
of the race.

Wow, looks pretty steep.

And I'm not so good
at snow-boarding.

But that won't stop me.

I'm way out in front.
I can win this race.

Okay, here we go...

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

All:
whoa!

Tyrone:
cool! Snow boarding!

My most favorite thing

And I'm really good at it!

Uniqua:
wow! Looks pretty steep.

Austin
it is steep.

Tyrone:
woooo -hooo!

Yeeee-ha!

Wow,
tyrone's really good.

Uniqua:
let's hit it!

Woo-hoo!

Uh-oh.
I better get going!

Wooo-hooooooo!

Austin:
pablo...

Pablo:
help! Help, help, help!

Help, help, help!

Pablo!

Yeah?

I think I can help.

Oh. How?

I've got a rope.

Grab on
and I'll pull you up!

Got it!

[Effort grunts]

Phew,
thanks, austin!

No problem.

I've got everything
a racer needs

Right here in my pack.

Well, I never thought
I'd need a rope.

You can never tell
what will happen in a race.

That's why I like
to be prepared.

C'mon, let's get back
in the race!

Okay!

♪ I love it when,
I'm in the lead. ♪

♪ I gotta go,

♪ So, go, go, go-go-go!

This is where we paddle
across the ocean in a kayak.

The only thing is,

I'm not very good at paddling.

I'm way out in front.

If I paddle really fast

Those guys will
never catch me

And I'll win the race.

Okay, here I go.

Uh-oh.

That looks tricky.

Whoa... Steady, now.

Okay...

And now for my favorite
part of the race...

Austin:
wow! She's fast.

Wow, he's almost
as fast as uniqua.

I guess I better get going...

Uniqua:
hi, tyrone.

Tyrone:
hi, uniqua.

Uniqua:
bye, tyrone.

Tyrone:
bye, uniqua.

Well, I guess I'm not
in first place anymore.

But I am in second place!

Pablo:
hi, tyrone.

Tyrone:
hi, pablo.

Pablo:
bye, tyrone.

Tyrone:
bye, pablo.

Now I'm not in second place
anymore either.

I'm just going to have
to paddle harder.

[Effort grunts]

Whoops!

Oh no! My paddle!

Uh-oh... Rocks!

This does not look good.

Uh-oh.
It looks like somebody

Dropped their paddle
in the water.

I better get it out.

It's a good thing
I have this in my pack.

Those rocks look
awfully pointy.

And they're getting closer.

This is definitely not good.

Austin:
hey, tyrone.

Did you just lose
your paddle?

Tyrone:
I certainly did!

Austin:
here. I fished it out for you.

Tyrone:
thank you!

Austin:
you're welcome.

Tyrone:
where'd you get that?

I had it in my pack.

I've got everything
a racer needs right here.

Well, I never thought
I'd need a big old hook.

Austin:
you can never tell what
will happen in a race.

That's why I like
to be prepared.

Tyrone:
c'mon. Let's get back
in the race!

Austin:
let's go!

I'm so far out in front,

Those guys will
never catch up with me.

I'm going to win
this race!

♪ I gotta go, go, go!

The only thing left

Is the hike across
the desert.

It looks awfully hot
and dry out there.

But it is a desert,
after all.

Here they come.

I better get going.

Phew, I wish I'd brought
some water.

I'm getting thirsty.

I'm in second place.

If I can just catch up
with uniqua,

I can still win
this race!

Boy, it's awfully hot
and dry around here.

I just wish I'd brought
some water.

I'm thirsty.

I'm not that far behind.

If I go really,
really fast,

And catch up with pablo
and uniqua,

I might still win the race.

I'm thirsty.

I wish I'd brought
some water.

Phew!

Oh man!
There they go!

I'm last... Again!

I'm never going to win
this race!

Makes me thirsty.

my water.

Ahhh, water.

Now I can keep on hiking.

[Panting]

Austin:
hey! Why did you
guys stop hiking?

Because it's too hot.

And it's too dry.

And we're too thirsty.

I can help.

How about some water?

Tyrone:
water!

All:
thanks, austin.

Uniqua:
you know, this is the second
time you've helped me.

Tyrone:
hey, you helped me twice, too!

Pablo:
and you've helped me twice,
too, too!

Thanks!

Austin:

It's a close race!

They're neck and neck!

Who will break the tape
at the finish-line

And win the gold-medal?

And the winner is...

All:
whoa! Oof...

Pablo:
whoa!

Uniqua:
that's very strong tape.

Tyrone:
it certainly is.

Ahem! Excuse me, guys?

I'm the referee

And nobody wins this race

Until somebody breaks the tape
at the finish-line!

All:
whoa! Oof.

Pablo:
I guess nobody is going
to win the gold medal.

Austin:
oh man!

Tyrone:
bummer!

Uniqua:
I guess not!

Hey! I think I can.

You can never tell

So I like to be prepared.

All:

[Stomach rumbles]

Whoa!
All that running,

Skiing, paddling,

And hiking
around the world

Made me hungry.

Got any snacks
in your race pack?

Well actually, no.

My mom made chocolate chip
cookies today.

Want to come to my house
for a snack?

Tyrone:
yeah!

Austin:
excellent!

Tasha:
