It was a strange battle to view. Constantina Tomescu was the only one brave enough to go for the gold. The rest were like a pack of wolves. They all wanted it, but no one was going to stick their next out an go for it..until the last couple of miles. And then it was a close battle for the top 10 positions. Paula put in a very brave performance - just to finish in 23rd place. I'm glad the Japanese gal, Reiko Tosa, pulled out. It was torture watching her struggle. Click here for full results.
I didn't really fancy a run today. My heart wasn't in it. Instead I took my niece and nephew to a local fete for some face painting, cake eating and bouncy castle-ing.
However, I did cyle round with Sonic on his 13-mile run. I'm sure he choose the hilly option in a vain attempt to shake me off :-)

I stayed up late to watch it and ended up tired all day on sunday. It was an exciting race and I was really pleased Constantina Tomescu won it as she was the only one brave enough to try and make a race of it.
I did think paula put on a gutsy performance though and she did as best she could given the circumstances - an inspiration to keep on fighting even when the outcome looks like less than what you'd hoped for.
