Oct 13 Peter’s Marathon Debut

Sean Lynch2024-10-14T13:59:39+01:00

Peter Lynch, currently resident in North Carolina, made his marathon debut in Chicago today. Starting with the elite wave he ran a very controlled race for the first 20 miles. Averaging approximately five minutes per mile he passed the half-way mark in 1.05.16 suggesting a possible under 2.10.00 finish. Unfortunately the wall or the lack of experience hit and his last couple of miles were run at a little over six minute pace. However a debut marathon of 2.17.40 is very good indeed. Well done Peter. Also in Chicago for the marathon was Mary Prendergast who did the run in [...]
