great result and well done
(she's my wife's optician)
Well done Tracy
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must admit, I was very sceptical when I saw her steam past the the second British girl to finish (can't remember her name). My first thought was that she had just joined the event at the 20 mile stage and was taking the p1ss. But no, fantastic, brilliant, the run of a lifetime. At the end she had no idea that she was first British lady.
It just goes to show, there is hope for all of us.
Go get 'em girl.
Ever since her performance at The Abbey Dash, I have been boring my fellow club runners rigid with my repeated assertions that Tracey was capable of qualifying for Athens. Isn't it great that a 'normal' club runner can achieve something like this, and even more so when it is someone who exemplifies the joy of running (even after 26 miles)?
Well done, superstar!
Way to go girl!
And in the best traditions of superb British marathoners the TV screen loves her, and she's eloquent.
The best bit if course is the way she has decided to be the superb runner that she is.
Is there hope for me?
There are only a limited number of people ie coaches and high profile former champions, that can spot true talent or potential and bring it too a good level. How about getting these people to go out and find all the others Traceys out there and bring them on, rather than wasting their time coaching B list celebs on reality progs like "The Games". How many club athletes with potential would have loved to be getting the kind of attention and coaching that Jodie Marsh and Pat Sharp got?
Good on you T and to the club, you must all be so proud. If anyone knows her secret could they publish it.or is she just very special?
I'm not sure why the BBC (and other media) made such a huge deal of the fact that Tracy had only started running when she entered the 1999 FLM but decided to conceal the fact that she had actually captained the Welsh Athletics team as a junior... I know it made for a better story, but I couldn't help but feel slightly cheated when I found out. (Not that this detracts anything whatsoever from Tracy's amazing acheivement, of course). And however naturally gifted she is, I'd still love to see her training logs from the last five years to see how she managed to get into such fantastic form...
I've seen her name regularly in the top finishers in some of our local runs, but never knew what she looked like - I knew what the back of her vest looked like...
