Said race director had been putting the rope back where it should be and telling a certain marshall to watch his head as someone had just nearly took it off.
As the health and safety of the day ultimately comes down to the race director, I'd rather be doing that and having to run 10 foot further than trying to explain to the health and safety exec how a marshall ended up in hospital.
As for the scrutineering the 3 people that volunteered for the job had never done it before and I don't think they did too bad a job, if people just want to twist on they'll end up being no regionals, I know I won't be organising anymore or acting as race director again.
Thanks to those who did appeciate the work before the event and effort that goes in on the day to run these events for people to race at.
