      I actually think that's pretty normal. The issue isn't with them throwing the cups on the floor, it's if they do it outside of the care stations. There's always someone at the care stations to pick it up, and you can't expect someone to hit a trash can at that speed, but as long as no one has to go along the whole trail and pick up trash, it's not too bad.

    Sometimes when I'm watching sports, I think "I wonder what it would be like to have no commentary; just hear the opponents breathing rapidly, watching them going through their obstacles and challenges, hearing and seeing nature instead of hearing someone talk about all these things trying to put you on edge.
    An intimate run."
    A smart aleck would probably say, "Well go run the race yourself if you wanna experience that!"
