In true inspiring fashion a little man from Kenya Sammy Wanjiru won the Olympic Mens Marathon on Sunday in an Olympic Record time of 2 hours 6 minutes 32 seconds. Breaking a record that has stood since 1984! And they said it would not happen in Beijing …
My goal is to finish in under 4 hours, so I will be out there a little longer than Wanjiu! But I hope to finish as strong as he did. That was what I found inspirational is that the little fella just keep pushing harder and harder all race. And still managed to finish with near sprint.
Steve Moneghetti called it one of the greatest races he has seen …. Inspirational indeed ….
The other Olympic highlight for me was Emma Snowsill winning the Women’s Triathlon Gold. Go Aussie!
