Lisa Weightman’s wait is nearly over. Being forced to wait until the last day of competition, Weightman will tomorrow run the gruelling 42.195 kilometre, six lap course around the streets of Delhi.
Weightman enters the race with the third quickest personal-best time of anyone in the field and takes confidence from the fact that she is unbeaten in any race thus far in 2010. Included in this stellar year are new course records that she has set in the Malle 12, Gold Coast Half Marathon and Perth City to Surf 12km.
Spending time in the heat chamber at the Victorian Institute of Sport over the past few months has provided Weightman the opportunity to train in hot and humid conditions, similar to what she will encounter tomorrow.
The marathon will commence at 12.15pm AEST tomorrow afternoon and will be shown live on both Channel 10 as well as Foxtel.
