Frost smashes Everest record
Early news comes from the ceiling of the world that Kiwi Anna Frost has produced a staggering performance at the Everest Marathon. Although results and times are provisional at this stage, the Commonwealth champion placed 6th overall and produced a time of 4hrs 35 minutes…
The time takes a huge 25 minutes off the record set by Angela Mudge in 2007.
Welshman Matt Gilbert also produced a storming effort, despite not being a competitor until the last minute. Gil replaced an athlete who was taken ill with a virus and donned his kit to finish 8th in 4:55.
Expect a full report from Anna on MST in the next few days, and keep on eye on the ‘eye’ Sleepmonsters for post race images, reactions and results…
