Keep it hush

That was what Jess said to me just over 10 months ago when she confided that she was aiming for selection for the Danish team in the Olympic marathon.

"Pretty cool idea" she said. 10 months later and she runs 2:31:43. And that after a lengthy lay off after injury in the London Marathon. That is some talent. In fact there is only one description that is better to describe Jess in one word that talented - determined. But of course this is the Olympics so we must say that she is amazingly determined. I would say staggeringly determined but she in finishing 40th out of 118 starters she was one of the few that didn't stagger.
