		Meyer comes from a 'trio' of South Africa's top performing female athletes ever, who were born in the same year or two years apart.
		Meyer emerged as the top South African female performer in the 90's and her considerable talent over the half-marathon was considered a stepping stone to the marathon, where it was thought that her immense talent would certainly threaten the then world record.
		Meyer's winning time in 2001 was 2:32:53, whether she breaks 2:30 will probably depend on whether it is necessary to exert herself, however a new course record makes for happy driving.
