Blood, sweat and tears...
by Duncan O'Leary
Like many a great sporting event, however, the occassion has been marred by controversy. In many ways getting the pictures developed this morning (have a look at them on our flickr page here) should have been a happy occasion, but one photo in particular shows clear evidence of a false start in the multi-legged event.
The recriminations have been bitter - with one member of the (now infamous) yellow team arguing that "we reacted to the starter's gun with bullet-time reflexes", in a desperate attempt to explain-away such blatant disregard for the spirit of fairplay.
Other highlights include some wheel-barrow racing, a handstand...and a dog on a skateboard.
