Smith breaks NZ Record in New Orleans 1/2 Marathon
Kim Smith set a new New Zealand record of 1:07:55 at the Mardi Gras Half Marathon in New Orleans, Louisiana. She lead almost the entire race as she attempted to break away from eventual winner Ethiopian Berhane Adere (1:07:52). After a fast start the leaders passed the 5km and 10km splits in 15:48 and 31:47, faster than any other Kiwi Woman over those distances in more than a year.
Next up for Smith is the London Marathon on the 25th of April 2010.

Amazing run.
.."passed the 5km and 10km splits in 15:48 and 31:47, faster than any other Kiwi Woman over those distances in more than a year".
mmmm, and her half m time would have been a comfortable bronze in the 2009 NZ Mens Half Marathon Champs. Lucky she is in the States boys (:
