For the Washington Running Report
It seemed like old times at the 16th St. Patrick's Day 10K in
downtown Washington. While bagpipers in kilts played and Irish
dancers jigged, thousands ran in various shades of green--
shorts,
shirts and hair--with a familiar champion leading the way across
the finish line.Philipe Rolly (photo left), born in France and now living in
Tuckahoe, NY, in
Westchester County, outkicked Michael Wardian in the final 200
meters to win in 30 minutes 49 seconds, rekindling memories of
years gone by when he lived in Washington and dominated the area
racing scene. In contrast, Heather Hanscom, 26, easily won the
women's race in 34:11, fueling anticipation for her
participation in the upcoming Olympic Trials marathon in St.
Louis on
April 3. "I left Washington in 2001," Rolly said, "and stopped running
for six months. But I'm finally back in shape and it's really
good to be back here." Rolly, 31, is a part-time physical therapist and recently a full-
time dad. He ran the New York City Marathon last fall in 2:26
and is hoping for a faster effort next month at the Boston
Marathon.
Runner-up Wardian, 29, from Arlington (bib #5), can attest to
Rolly's current fitness."I led the whole way except when it counted," said Wardian, who
finished in a personal best 30:55. "I tried to break him three
different times the last couple of miles. He ran very well." Wardian is preparing for the 100K national championships in
Wisconsin next month, and ran "an easy nine miles" before the
race. Plus another eight afterward for a Sunday run total of 23.
Such is the mind-set and discipline of an ultramarathoner.
In winning the women's race, Hanscom (photo left) likewise was
training through Washington's first major racing event of the
season."I've got tunnel vision for the trials," she said, adding that
she has been training harder and logging more miles than ever
before. She took the lead one-half mile into the race and won by
nearly a minute and a half. Casey Smith, the 2003 winner, was
second in 35:31. A record of more than 5,300 registered for this year's race, and
more than 4,440 finished. After the 10K started, hundreds of kids participated in a 1
kilometer fun run, earning medals for their efforts. (Editor's note: Heather Hanscom set an event record with her
34:12 finish, breaking the record set in 1989 and tied by 2003
winner Casey Smith.)
