Steve Field recently competed in the ING Amsterdam Marathon finishing the flattish course in 3:23:33, bringing him home in 1221st place from the 24,000 total participants who completed the course and 28th in the Vet 55 class. The race had an atmospheric start and finish at the Olympic Stadium (dating from the 1928 Olympiad) and Steve enjoyed his run through the city centre and beside the river Amstel.
