Philip Mulligan and Rab Martin avoided the local snow and cancelled sports events by opting for the warmer climate of Lanzarote to participate in the marathon.
Unfortunately both men had cold and flu symptoms which ruled Rab out prior to the start and played a part in Philip’s performance. The traditional windy conditions, heat and a niggling leg injury added to Philip’s problems but despite this he still managed a decent 3:55:09 which was 206th place.
