Tracey Clissold has won her third Auckland Marathon title last Sunday.
Clocking in at two hours, 50 minutes, and 47 seconds, Clissold was followed by Melanie Burke after 10 1/2 minutes. "Today was an experiment to see how the injury would hold up and whether I still had a marathon in me", said Clissold. Clissold had an Achilles tendon surgery last December.
Clissold intends to join the Gold Coast marathon next year and plans to clock in at 2 hours and 42 minutes.
