Rina has a hill to climb Gold Coast Sport,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
IT will be the end of the road for athlete Rina Hill if she tames the marathon tiger and crosses the line first tomorrow morning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The mother of two,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who made her name as a triathlete -- finishing 33rd at the 2004 Athens Olympics -- turns 40 on Tuesday and will quit the bear pit of competition for fun runs should she leave the race favourites,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japan Mai Tagami and fellow Australia Lauren Shelley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in her wake.
She might already have hung up her runners but for the sense of unfinished business which has been tapping her on the shoulder ever since she finished second last year to New Zealander Shireen Crumpton in 2:45,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].59,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Brisbane runner would love nothing more than an early birthday present today as she seeks to reprise the form of 2004 when she set a personal best of 2:39,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].36,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Not doing myself justice last time has been nagging at me a bit over the past 12 months,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she admitted. "That why I am here again.
"I was disappointed with how things panned out in 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if I can get over the line first then I return happily.
"It actually wasn the second place that bugged me as much as the time because I know I can do better than 2:46,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I was hoping to go around 2:40,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I giving it another shot."
Even if victory comes her way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she won forsake the running shoes for ever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding: "I never give it up in terms of something I will always do. But a win here would be a great way to finish my days as a (top-flight) marathon runner.
