The triumph of the human spirit. Geneveve Lacaze is an Australian distance runner coached by Nic Bideau. Geneveve was injured fifty days ago and was not expected to be able to run, much less race a steeplechase. Running well, not feeling any pain, Geneveve finished 13th in 9:37.10, and making the Australian standard for the steeplechase. When Geneveve and RunBlogRun caught up in the Frankfurt airport, we were both amazing how fine the Doha steeple field was, as well as the improvement of those fine athletes. Congrats Geneveve and Coach Nic Bideau. Nic had some fine performances from his athletes in both Doha and Payton Jordan (Palo Alto).
