DQ'd

Still in Dubai but have managed to sneak into an internet cafe a couple of times to catch up on emails...and the outrageous news that a French athlete who won (?) the Orange Run in KL last Sunday was disqualified after - AFTER (!) - finishing the race and after a complaint by another runner. This story has stoked up some strong feelings inside me and they will burst out onto this blog once I get back!

Seeya!

Wow. That's pretty stupid. I suggest we:

1. Name and shame the runner who complained. Was it the named winner?

2. Give next future BHP Orange Runs a miss. In fact why don't we avoid using BHP products. This might not leave too big a dent in Boustead's financials, but does provide a degree of personal satisfaction.
