I was implying this. That is normal for these sorts of events. (It's one reason I like to roll early. I've been the first to the first rest stop on some rides!)

It's hard to arrange that no one will wait (unless they over-provide) since the flow of people isn't going to be constant.

Still, it was a bit weird. Riders weren't being efficient (that was part of the problem). At the "pie" stop, there was one water jug that wasn't being used (though there was a long line to get water). Part of the problem might have been that the heat caused an increase in water consumption (that is, in prior, cooler years, there were less people getting water).

Also, it's possible that the flow rate from the orange jugs was too low.
