CAREER NOTES:
Marcia Narlock has been contesting marathon races since the early 1990s but 2003 was her year-of-years. In April she ran her liftime best at Hamburg, cracking the 2:30 barrier by one second. Then in August she raced to gold medal glory at the Pan American Games, beating the rest of the field by more than three minutes.
Berlin in 2006 marked her return to the World Marathon Majors scene and she scored a notable fifth place. Narlock has had a successful career in her native Brazil, notching three victories apiece in Sao Paolo and Porto Alegre and another in Rio de Janeiro.
Narloch earned her second Pan American Games marathon medal in 2007, taking the silver on home soil in Rio de Janeiro.
