The third-fastest woman marathon runner of all time, Allison Roe, competing in the cycling section of a novelty triathlon held yesterday to celebrate the opening of a new sports shop in Christchurch, Tri Sports, Ltd. In the background is the New Zealand triathlon champion, John Hellemans. Roe, who has not raced since last April, hopes that she has overcome the hamstring injury which interrupted her running career. She had corrective surgery in September, and will run her first race since then in Auckland on Easter Monday over 10km. She also has plans to compete on the United States road circuit in June, and wants to run a world-class marathon in either Chicago or New York in October.
