    +1 no shame in pulling out in those conditions.. Hopefully it was a controlled decision rather than forced if it is the case.

    How can Gary O'Hanlon's running page post/share a link 2 hours ago on Facebook? Obviously it's not Gary himself who is posting. Who is crewing for him over there - they should be helping him at the finish line.

    I'd reckon some lad sitting in a shop in Ashtown is an admin on the page and can post stuff there on his behalf. ;)

    I think the trackers is broke. I just saw what was the 9th lady at 45k finish, yet only 2 are showing up as finished.

    Edit #104 just finished, she was 2 ahead of orna at 35k, has no split since 40k

    Thanks for that meno. I was starting to think things had gone badly wrong for her. Fingers and toes are all still crossed!

    4:17, no idea of place. 34 minutes down on a tough Donadea course last february to give the conditions perspective.

    Well done to Orna. She can be seen finishing at about 3:38:00 or so in the race video at
    http://lifeinaspire.qa/ArticleDetail.aspx?lang=en&id=78#.VFPfdvlXdMB

    Managed to raise her arms at the finish, didn't collapse and might even have had a smile on her face. Magnificent achievement to finish it.

    One of the rare moments when simply finishing can be considered a great achievement. Some going to grind it out in conditions like that which are not intended for running in. 4:17 is also a very impressive time in those conditions. Hope she can source a beer out there to celebrate.
