Sinead Diver from Co.Mayo won the Melbourne Marathon over the weekend in a time of 2 hours 25 mins and 19 seconds. That is the second fastest time by an Irish woman and only Catherina McKiernan’s has run faster with 2:22:23.
Over the half-marathon distance, Sinead has a personal best 69:20. Only Sonia O’Sullivan with 67:19 and Catherina McKiernan with 67:50 have run faster.
What is probably most amazing is that Sinead Diver only took up running nine years ago while on maternity leave.
Sinead emigrated to Australia in 2002 and now represents her adopted country.
Wow, fantastic running Sinead. Fair play to you.
