What to do, this is the problem on the over-commercialized event.

Let's do a run specifically to cater to those who like to walk hand in hand, rude, don't queue (let them fight each other). We put all the drinks there and let them duke it out. If they complain, we will say that serves them right coz such behaviour is what they do anyway. At the start of the race, we just announce it and of course market it that way.

Als...So how about the VIP treatment. I wanna know!<br /><br />Also, congrats to you and especially to your wife for a great run.<br /><br />I totally agree with you and of course, Jamie about race etiquette. I'm such a noob at this race thingy but I've started to get annoyed about the runners who do the things you and Jamie listed as "what not to do".linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.com
