She completed the world’s largest marathon in a time of 2:52.21; good enough to see her finish as 24th woman overall and sixth in her class.
It also catapulted her to ninth in the all-time Irish list in just her third encounter with the 26.2 mile distance, having previously completed the Toronto and Dublin equivalents.
* Ireland’s Over 40s finished a creditable fifth in their first shot at the International Masters Hockey Tournament in Hong Kong.
They picked up wins against the host nation (3-2) and Singapore (1-0) from their six matches in a high quality field which featured greats from Australia, New Zealand and England.
