The great dollop
hold the turds.

380Mb of files (4500) remain in the upload queue as of now 14:08 . work out how long that is on 400kbit upload and you'll know when they are ready.
31000 already on there, so plenty to look through when they are live....

In other news, and rather randomly, I just remembered how disappointed I was to see so many empty gel wrappers left on the ground on Saturday. Maybe the organisers could remind runners that there isn't a street sweeper that goes around the downs to clear up after them? Sad state of affairs that people might actually need to be told in the first place though. I mean, who would think to just drop their litter?

Hendo, your point is valid, but I think a lot of stuff gets dropped by accident. People find it difficult to stuff rubbish into a pocket while running and even if they do it sometimes comes out.

I thought that going up the first hill: there seemed to be a couple of full ones and I thought 'oh dear, someone's dropped their gels'. But after that point, there were just loads of 'em: all empty. It was mainly in the first 5 or 6 miles.

I was seeing them all around the course too.

Fair point cat, but you know. FFS and all that.
