Lively Lee clocks personal best to win in Raheny
Lizzie Lee was an impressive winner of the Axa Raheny five-mile road race yesterday in a personal best of 26 minutes and 34 seconds. The Leevale athlete won in style but admitted it was a struggle in the opening stages.
“I felt horrendous because I went out as hard as I possibly could,” said Lee afterwards, going through the first mile in 5:01. “I didn’t want to give the track athletes a chance. I went out too hard and hung on for dear life. And it worked.”
