This morning Marna Egholm improved her own Faroese record in the half marathon when she crossed the finish line in Berlin in a time of 1:19:14. The old record, which she set on New Year’s Eve, was 1:20:57. Today’s race was one of her main goals this spring.
Her fine time today earned her 15th place overall among women and 2nd place in her age group, women 30-34. Looking at her splits for each 5 km, it is clear that she ran extremely evenly: 18:47, 18:56, 18:50, and then a little faster for the last 6.1 km.
FÍF warmly congratulates Marna on the record.
Valborg Heinesen and Bjørk Herup Olsen had also planned to take part, but unfortunately, for various reasons, had to withdraw from the race.
Several other Faroese runners also ran in Berlin this morning. One of them was Henry Olsen, who finished in a time of 1:18:28 (net 1:17:58). Henry’s result earned him 175th place overall among men and 6th place in the 50-54 age group.
