Ascot Park Southland Marathon

Post date: Nov 30, 2013 6:38:18 AM

Val ran the marathon and ran it well - as usual she ran to her own beat and this once again proved to be a good strategy. Younger runners arrived along side her and went on by, and with the exception of Emma Lloyd the eventual women's winner, Val re-caught them and went past, catching the last with 3 Km to go.

Emma won the Open ladies and Val who finished second was awarded first over 40 prize. 

A point to ponder is Emma at 19 is 40 years younger than Val so what did the over 40 really mean? Once again the race was well organised marshalled and enjoyable.
