The elite women grab a quick drink on the way past the 30km mark. The main foreground runner went on to win.
I've done a little tweaking, desaturated the background elements / crowd but I can't decide what to do with this one, the post is in just the wrong place but everything else seems to work out ok.
I'm toying with the idea of a major cloning session (I think I might be able to do it using detail from other shots in the sequence).
I'm liking the action and intent, and all in all I think they were at the table and gone in a couple of seconds.

The post does intrude but I would be inclined to make a feature of it!
In the mode I've uploaded for you, I've rotated the image slightly - so as to straighten the post - a nd then cropped from the right. I've also added a little more contrast via a curves adjustment and sharpening just a bit. See what you think. 
I love those mods, thanks for your time & input.
The first mod is similar to the crop I was originally thinking of; but straightening up the post is one of those things which is really blindingly obvious (but only now someone's pointed it out!)
I don't think I'd have considered the close crop that really picks up on all the key elements in it and I like that very much.
This is exactly the kind of inpiriation I need, thanks again!
