Thanks to everyone for comments , it was the Chester marathon ,i tried to have a ice bath whilst in training f@@k that way to cold , my training was going well until i pulled my knee about a month ago , so i had to scale it back and hope i'd done enough , GTE don't think i'd ever be able to keep up with Sammy his legs are twice as long as mine , had a £50 bet on with my brother who was also doing it , so i've got bragging rights in work tuesday seeing as he had to pull out at 18 miles along with my sister, but fair play neither of them had trained , so they did very well , £ 50 going to cance
