Radcliffe Smashes it

A short entry from me to say Radcliffe literally smashed it.

The woman beat her longstanding opponent in the New York Marathon by a credible 23 seconds - a race she had hoped to win for a long time, but what amazed me was that she went training intensively whilst pregnant.

Well done Radcliffe.

However it does seem to me to be unlikely that she will be able to compete in the 2012 olympics at 38 as looking at other athletes a lot of them retire by this point.

Maybe Im wrong, but I think that time will take its toll on the body by then and that her involvment will be more on the personality front than the track.
