David Huane from Irishtown went to one of the world's top city marathons in Berlin on Sunday with high hopes of running a sub 2hr 50 pb. He had good reason to be optimistic, having run a 82.23an pb two weeks previously in the National Half Marathon championships as a member of Mayo AC's silver medal winning o35 team. However, like fourth time Berlin winner the legendary Haile Gebreselassie, Huane suffered in the latter stages but still finished in 2.57.18, a great time on the day. “I'm not built for sunny climes,” was his philosophical reaction. The temperature in Berlin increased to the low 20s shortly after the 9am start. Hopefully Huane will recover in suitably cooler conditions in the lead up to the Dublin City Marathon in less than five weeks.
