The half marathon at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Torun, Poland, was the culmination of a crazy half plan for club member Lisa Finlay that lodged in her mind some time last year, when she started racing again after a long layoff.
After losing their dad last year, Lisa and her sister Sian thought it might be a good idea to do something together with their mum that would allow them to have new dreams during the first winter without him.
Lisa felt she had lost her drive and desire to compete, but as she ran a few races last year, she began to wonder if she could still be competitive for her age.
