I saw a twitter post regarding Yuka Ando finishing 4th but had no idea that Honami Maeda had entered this race and won it in such a wonderful time. She really is coming back strong after the Olympics. A PB by 40s is eye popping! She should be over the moon and I really hope she can deliver a marathon performance of the same vein. Her last twitter post was a photo of her training on the track and she looked amazingly fit in it so it's good to see that the looks were not deceiving and she really looked and was in top form. Well done to her!
