Alex Yee endured more “dark moments” on his London Marathon debut than during his Olympic triathlon-winning turn in Paris but still declared it an experience of a lifetime.
The 27-year-old Londoner crossed the finish in two hours, 11 minutes and eight seconds, good enough for 14th place in his first attempt at the distance, in a race won for the first time by Kenyan Sabastian Sawe in 2:02:27 – the second-fastest time in London Marathon history.
