She finished 7th in 2:22. They said it was a 1-min PB for her. Just not good enough for the day considering Rita Jeptoo ran a course record 2:18.



Yes, they were making it sound like she may have dropped out and I was so glad to see her finish! And finish so well.

I did 6k this morning, getting home just in time to watch the women's start. I missed the elite finishes as I went to visit my sick aunt instead. But, watching the regular folk on TV now.

8 km run for me. Nice day in the Peg for running. I am tracking a friend who is at the 30 Km mark. He finished last year about 5 minutes ahead of the trouble.

Nicely done everyone! I was watching the coverage from 6:30 am here 9:30 after the winners ended. Then I had to go out but I was sneaking peeks on my phone to check the maniacs and some other friends. It was a gorgeous day but it sounds like it got warm for the later finishers.

Happy to see that it all went well this year!

Hey folks- bit of a rough one for me. My breathing, heart rate, and energy were all good, but my legs were not. I could tell early on that things weren't going to be able to carry on at 4:30/km so I decided to enjoy the experience- it was AMAZING! I've never seen crowds like that, and I had a smile on my face for much of the race. Even after the race the vibe was awesome- having random people come up to me and thank me for coming to their city and supporting it. Unreal.

About to dig into a steak and lobster dinner. Speaking of lobster, I have a wicked sunburn on my bald dome and back and arms that is the colour of a lobster.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
