At the end of the day, we are all big enough to decide whether we want to compete or not. Maybe next time, I'll not wear shorts mind. It was such a pity though as I felt really comfortable at half way and was sitting in a great position....guess I didnt count on falling and freezing up over Brown Knoll. Shame.
ricky this will sound weird but it was you who got me through
when i spoke to you at edale i noticed like me you had shorts on
during the race i kept thinkin well ricky is in front so i must go on .
i was worried when i didnt see your name and sent swoop and pike a pm to see how you was.
glad you are okay
i too was in a mess at brown knoll so cant imagine what it was like falling
it was nice to recce the race with you and i would like to think one day i may be able to get fit enough to be up there with you.
cheers
