Lizzie Lee fully focused on the road to Rio

“Don’t let me get any notions,” said Lizzie Lee to her husband Paul on the drive back to Cork the day after the European Cross Country Championships.

Thirty-five year old Lee was 13th in Hyeres, her finishing position vital in helping the Irish women secure third place on the rostrum in the team event.

For Lee, it was the perfect end to a pretty perfect year.
