Best wishes from an Olympic Champion
Laura’s mum was invited to a charity meal and auction last week. One of the after dinner speakers was Sir Chris Hoy, triple Gold medallist in cycling at the Beijing Olympics.
At the end of the event, Laura’s mum got chatting and told him of my injury. She said he sounded genuinely sorry to hear about it and said that it was a terrible injury for anyone to sustain. Anyway, he wrote a little note on the event programme.
I nice touch, I thought.

Chris Hoy takes me back to my achilles injury 1 year ago in March.
I had not realised how bad my injury was then and we had tickets to the World Cycling Championships at the Velodrome in Manchester. I still went though, and as Chris Hoy was taking part in the last race I made my way towards the exit terrified of getting caught in the rush to leave and got a fantastic view of him (and those huge thighs) as he went over the finishing line.
A week later I had my achilles operation.
