The result wasn't too important, but I did want a solid run..poor marshalling resulted in me having to withdraw...again, not good. The real frustration was that the niggle I picked up post collision could result in me missing Chester marathon next week...I also spent a reasonable amount of cash on accommodation and travel, race entry and all I have to show for it is a DNF and sore ankle...not even a finishers goodie bag.
