Kenneally: I ran out of juice, I just blew

Mark Kenneally should be smiling this morning as he prepares to jet off on his delayed honeymoon.

Instead he will be feeling the aches and pains of yesterday’s Olympic marathon. And the agony wouldn’t be confined to the physical as he replays the race over and over in his head.

Kenneally finished 57th in 2:21.13 well outside the personal best of 2:13.55 set in Amsterdam when achieving this spot at London. The Kildare man looked comfortable in the opening hour but things went horribly wrong as he prepared for the final surge towards home. And he cut a frustrated figure in the race aftermath.
