Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka mutu te omaoma marathon kotahi me te hawhe maero i mua i te tae ki te raina mutunga - ki te tono ki tana hoa wahine. Ko Ben Parsons, 34, o Brighton, East Sussex, i whakamiharo i tana hoa wahine a Anna Jefferson, 36, mā te turi ki raro i muri i tana oma i te 24 me te hawhe maero. I kite ia i tana hoa rangatira e rere ana i te marathon o Brighton me a raua tamariki a Nancy, e toru, me Thomas, 11 marama. I tū a Ben Parson, 34, i waenganui i te marathon o Brighton, ā, i tono ki tana hoa wahine, ki a Anna Jefferson, 36. I mataku a Anna kei te raru tana hoa rangatira i tana tiimata ki te puhoi i te taha moana o Hove, na te mea kaore ia i te mohio ki tana mahere tono. Katahi ka tuohu a Ben ki runga i te turi kotahi, ka paopao i te patai, a ka whakaae a Anna, i mua i te oma atu o Ben ki te raina mutunga, ka whakahaere tonu ki te tiki i tetahi waa pai ake, ka whakaoti i tana ono o nga Brighton Marathon i roto i te 3 haora 36 meneti.

'I te wā i whakaae ai a Anna, ā, ka nui te werawera i a mātau, ka whai au ki te neke anō, kia kore ai oku waewae e hīkoi. I taku rerenga atu, nui atu te hamama a te mano. I rite tonu ki te tino taumata o tētahi whakaari aroha iti o Ingarangi. 'I whai au i te puna tāpiri i roto i taku hikoi mo te maero me te hawhe whakamutunga.' I taku rerenga atu, nui atu te hamama a te mano. He rite tonu ki te taumata o tētahi whakaari aroha iti o Ingarangi: i muri i te whakaae a Anna, ka haere tonu a Ben ki te marathon.
