Anne (Barrington) Johnston turned in a phenomenal effort at the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Johnston, from Torbay, was the 37th female across the finish line, and the top Canadian, covering the 42-plus kilometre course in a time of two hours, 43 minutes and .02 seconds.
Incredibly, she was the 515th-overall finisher in the world’s most famous marathon, held annually since 1897 and which has an official entry list of 30,000 runners.
Johnston is a three-time winner of the Tely 10-Mile Road Race, and holds three of the top 20 fastest times recorded in the race.
Johnston did not run any marathons last season, and this was her first marathon this year.
