A group of us from Run and Become had been working hard at the Marathon Expo, and we opted to run the relay rather than attempt the full 26.2! Our aim was just to beat Dhavala's solo effort in London of 3.14, which we did, by around ten minutes. The Edinburgh Marathon site has a few thumbnail pics of us so here they are (full versions will be less fuzzy but you have to pay for them:)
Amelia ran the anchor leg of the marathon- on finishing she was presented with not one but 5 medals but she graciously agreed to share these with the rest of the team.
Overall the Sri Chinmoy AC team came 18th out of over a hundred entries and also set a new club record for the event by beating Hyamallar's all-boy team, but we have agreed not to mention that in this report.
Our total time was 3:06 and we placed 18th in the team relay (though some confusion at the start means there is a question mark over those results - I'm sure not all the teams started at the same time!)
The legs were:
ROGER Princes' St. - Victoria Pk - 7.7 miles 50:46
BHAULIYA Victoria Pk - Marine Dv, Silverknowes - 4.2 miles 32:58
SHYAMALA Marine Dv, Silverknowes - Ocean Terminal - 5.6 miles ??:??
DHAVALA Ocean Terminal - Portobello Beach, Kings Rd - 3.5 miles ??:??
AMELIA Portobello Beach, Kings Rd - Holyrood Park 5.2 miles ??:??
