KELLY Dicks will also remember the 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon with great pride after she finally joined the sub three-hours club.
Dicks, who is the chairwoman of Great Western Runners, clocked a time of 2hrs 58mins 41secs to carve 2mins 09secs off her previous best set at the Chester marathon three years ago.
Since that PB she has recorded 3:28.44 (Snowdonia, 2018), 3:10.40 (Abingdon, 2019) and this year 3:05.57 to finish sixth woman at the Shepperdine marathon in south Gloucestershire.
But her form had suggested a big PB was in the offing as Dicks smashed her PB in the Severn Bridge half (84:03) in August and the South West 5k PB Series (18:16) in July.
