Many races have been in my body already, nevertheless I decided together with Herwig, my dear camera guy, to make a one day trip to London not to loose Chris out of sight. Experiments need a close follow-up otherwise they are not what they should be, and no conclusions can be drawn at the end of the journey.
Okay then, to cut a long story short for now, we were rushing in to London Heathrow early morning, not very well prepared, so we were more straying than pursuing our target in a determined manner.
Finally we found ourselves in Chris’ hotel room. The hamstring and an uneasy feeling had taken over control of Chris and his thoughts. At this time it seemed already quite obvious that he would not be able to race.
