Come race morning, walking through town, the triathletes were absolutely pristine in their appearance, kit, etc. By comparison, the fellrunners looked like hobo's, huddled in the corner of the car park in the rain... i barely saw one without at least one hole or damaged item of clothing/kit! Still i know which group i prefer!
