Just catching up on this, after being out most of the day!
Thanks to everyone who entered, and everyone who voted (especially those who voted for me ;) )
A very big thanks to Will for setting this up - it must have been a lot of work getting all the topics and votes setup.

Sadly no. The first requirement is to undergo the obligatory and incredibly intrusive doping test. Why do you think the rest of us deliberately underperformed? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm not sure it will take that much testing to prove if I'm a dope. ;)
Good job I was out most of yesterday, otherwise I may have had an unexpected meeting with a large chap in latex gloves looking for a sample...
My congratulations to all winners! My compliments to all runners too. Bravi !! =D>
I must echo everyone's thanks to Lemmey for organising the competition.
Congrats to all participants. Lots of artistic talent out there to take inspiration from.
