Couple of strange looking 'women' running....

not many spectators either, although it's mega early for them.

Wow Rutita, your woman *really* suffered.

She's certainly brave.

Feel so sorry for Paula, hoped for a fairytale for her but not to be.

Very good run by Mara Yamauchi, 6th place!

My woman? I was rooting on the winner......she was brave to kick off and lead from the front...she's not a spring chicken either.

Thought you were rooting for Paula

I was in some way especially knowing the problems she's had lately. But it was impossible not to admire Constantina Dita....she was amazing.

Pauline Curley from Offaly just finished 63rd in the women's marathon with a time of 2:47:16.Not bad for a 39yr old.

Good race - tuned in right before Constantina Dita decided to go all the way, and I was impressed on how she held to it.

I loved the scenery, particularly that part where they went through a park. Did anyone complained about the air quality?
