and as for taking gels offered by the organiser along the course, they sometimes run out when you pass and haven't had time to put more out.
also the entire floor will be sticky with gels from the inconsiderate pricks who are faster than you eating half then throwing it on the floor and it will fuck up your shoes for the next mile or two so they stick with each step and annoy the shit out of you best to just run as wide around the gel stations and take your own.
also sports drink stations, people think taking a swig then tossing the bottle works, you need to drink the lot to actually get enough carbs if you are using it to replace a gel.
