If I remember the story correctly, it's been a bit.
He told this story at a seminar I just went to. The worst part was that he was quite sick in the morning, so he had someone else pin his race number on his jersey. Unfortunately, the guy pinned the number to his jersey AND through to his bibs. So, Bobke was trying to get the jersey up and over his head, but it was stuck to his bibs too. Quite hilarious to hear Bobke gesturing as he's telling the story.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
