Bek, I ran my 1st (&last) Half Marathon in Nov last year in a time of 3:06:something. It did my head in. I've hardly run since. I had lofty ambitions to do the triple. Clare Half was my goal. Where am I today? Sitting on my bottom tearfully replying to your post. YOU did it!!!🏆. You are moving forward. I applaud you! My run is out there, calling me. Slowly I am getting ready to answer that call. Thank you for your honest post. It has helped me so much. Good Luck for your next run!😀🏃

Bek! Incredible run! You were not last - you beat everyone who didn't even give it a go! Congratulations on your effort today - enjoy the reward 😊🍷

I did the Adelaide Half Marathon last year (run with the Marathon) and per my understanding finished second last. My stance is you are still lapping everyone on the couch.

You got out there and did your best. That makes you a winner in my eyes. Onya Bek

Bek, every runner is a winner. We all run for different reasons. Yes I may have finished before your but placing in the Half Marathon today is no less important than mine. See you at the Adelaide marathon festival!

Awesome effort Bek. I know what you mean about being last. Remember that you beat everyone that sat on their couch. KUDOS to you. 😁😁

Bek, you are amazing! I cam long last in McLaren Vale Half last year and in the last few last year at Greenbelt and Clare. Its so different than being with the main pack (that's my guess anyway, never having been there!) and can feel lonely but your persistence, spirit and determination are an inspiration. I encourage SARRC to have a look at the way the last runner in the Rotterdam Marathon is honoured and to do the same here. Well done Bek.

Well done Bek, back of the pack is the hardest place to be. Don't sweat it, embrace it - every time you run you will improve, the most important thing is you went out and got it done.

Congratulations Bek, that’s what running is all about, running your own race. You should be proud of your determination, keep it up x

The distance is the same. A half is a half, and you should be proud. You have put in the work and proved you have the resilence and grit to finish.

Congratulations Bek! You have inspired many today! It’s not about how fast or slow or old or young you are ! it’s about a great attitude , a little ( or a lot of) determination, a fabulous team of like minded people around you and giving it a go!! You’re awesome and we all look forward to your running half at ADELAIDE marathon and completing the triple crown series with you!!! Well done lovely lady!

Congratulations to you Bek 👏 What a positive attitude you have and not giving up. You may have come last but in my Book you came first as you were out there giving it your all. Big congratulations again. Look forward to following your journey and how you improve 🏃👍🎖

Well done Bek on a fabulous achievement. You completed a half marathon which is something many people would love to do. Your time and placing do not matter, nobody should judge you on that. Nobody has any idea of what other people have been through. I'm glad you are proud of yourself and so you should be. Today's weather made it an especially hard run today. Hope to see you for Greenbelt!

Massive Well Done Bek Lamb. You are doing so well. Bring on 6 May and Melbourne with the hopes of some bit cooler days. Remember, if we can cross the line in the heat we will smash Run Melbourne😁

Hi five from last year’s last place finisher! 🤚🏻😍 Excellent work 👍🏻

Doesn’t matter where you finish Bek - you are a runner.
