I was driving home from a wedding the day after the marathon in 2004 and the phone in on 5-live was unbelievable, especially the guest journalist in the studio who probably only ever runs to get to the free pies in the press room. She was injured she tried her hardest to win. I nearly pulled the car over and phoned in it still winds me up eight years later I wish I could remember who he was.
