I was gutted for Nigel Armstrong in the Manx Mountain Marathon today. He was in second place when he took a tumble and the photo above is how his day ended - with five stitches and a rescue from the Civil Defence.
The reason I had to laugh was that he just brought his photos around on an SD card and he followed me up the stairs so that I could copy them. I then followed him down the stairs and to his parent's car - I've known 90 year olds with more mobility - and I wasn't much better.
As always, Nigel is capable of putting things in perspective and he left with a smile, especially when he witnessed a rare event - his team leading a football match!
