| All off at the start of the Events to Live Bacchus |
It's all on line and ready to view !
A great big mix of events at the weekend with Marathons, Half Marathons and Triathlons all going on.... clearly the most popular day of the year for getting out and doing a bit of exercise... Autumn has clearly finally arrived.
Here's the list of races and galleries we covered this weekend, and the next couple of weeks ahead for you to get you entries in if they have not already sold out...
Quick apology for the Hull marathon relay runners on leg 3 - sorry no photos this year - the practical logistics meant that it just wasn't possible for the team to cover it this time.
If you have had any slow website behaviour recently, again our apologies, but when 200 people descend on the gallery and all search for *that* picture, it will load the server with a lot of search queries to handle at the same time and it simply has to go around you all in turn, which takes time, even though it is rushing about with it's metaphorical hair on fire.
It's not going to be as a big a report as last weeks Nuts challenge overview, simply because - time is of the essence today. And the Censors are in... and I'm only doing a handful of them. (Bacchus, Firle, Falmer and Pilgrim)...
