« Willow Tree Half Marathon men's winner: Sean Livingston | Today | Cox Sports Marathon men's winner: Blaine Moore » May 5, 2008Willow Tree Half Marathon women's winner: Madeleine MareckiMadeleine Marecki far surpassed her expectations in her half-marathon debut, running almost 2 minutes faster than she had hoped to run and winning the women’s crown in the process at yesterday's Cox Providence Rhode Races Willow Tree Half Marathon.
``I started out slow. My first mile was like 6:55, and I was doing 6:40s for a while,’’ said the recent Brown grad, who makes her home in New Canaan, Conn. ``But then at the 5-mile mark, I took the lead and I felt good and I’m like, `I’ll just go for it and see what I can do.’ And I ended up running like under 6:10s for a lot of the miles. I just felt good and I just surprised myself.’’ Posted by Carolyn Thornton Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsPost a comment |
