Too hot for Richard

I've only just got around looking at a few small video clips for the London Marathon.



This is where Paul Curphey, Mike Garrett and I met up with with Richard Radcliffe and Nikki Boyde outside Charing Cross Station just before 8 am on the day of the race.



Although I spent the last hour before the race with Richard (apart from when we were watching each other's bags when we took our turn queueing for the loos) I had not heard (until yesterday) what caused him to run slower than he had hoped for. He said that he found the heat impossible even though he took plenty of fluids onboard.
