The red (orange??) hat breaks this up nicely and is well positioned in the frame. A little more detail and fill light on the competitors would have helped. DoF keeps the interest where it should be.
I can't really feel the anticipation myself. To me it's just the back of people's heads, with a distracting boat. Maybe a different angle might have shown it better?
