I was training for an Ultra at the time so it was a case of ' it should be alright, I'll be training for further than this distance so I know I'll be able to do it' but fast forward a few months and the ankle injury happened, which wiped me out for 8 months, meaning that I missed a few races that I'd already entered, but in the distance there was always 'Brighton' and the belief that I had time to get ready for it and give it a proper go.
