Commonwealth Games and Olympian Madeline Hills dominated in the women's Southern Cross University 10km Run this morning as part of the Gold Coast Marathon weekend.
The 31-year-old finished the in 32:35, 18 seconds outside the race record and 14 seconds from her road PB.
Her time has only been bettered by record holder Lisa Jane Weightman (32:17) in 2012.
After the race, Hills said she applied some unusual race tactics.
“Today I didn’t run the 10km a normal way," she said.
"I ran a hard 5km, stopped for a second and then just ran home. Spectators at the 5km probably thought it was a bit strange when I stopped my watch and pulled off to the side for a second.
