Start of the 2003 Lawyers Have Heart 10K

13th Annual Lawyers Have Heart 10K

For the Washington Running Report

It may have been a rare day in June--the sun shone and no rain fell--but it was just another day at the races for area stalwarts Chris Banks and Erik Kean (photo left by Alan Penberg).

The two former Princeton teammates, who train together and have traded wins at local races all spring, ran in a pack of four at halfway but needed to sort out the top two positions with two miles remaining in the 13th Lawyers Have Heart 10K. This day belonged to Banks, who ran 31 minutes 10 seconds, to beat Kean by three seconds. Edmund Burke, 33, from Burtonsville, was third in 31:29.

"Erik surged early in the race, and that kind of broke things up," Banks explained. "But I was feeling pretty good, so when I started pushing it with two miles left, I opened up a small gap and just extended it from there."

Tatyana Maslova, 36, a Russian living in Gaithersburg, employed a similar strategy, surging at four miles to open a gap on Naoko Ishibe, 34 (photo left by Alan Penberg), and win the women's race in 35:24. Ishibe finished second in 35:44.

"I'm still recovering from injuries, so I'm pleased with today's race," Ishibe said. "I knew [Maslova] is good, so staying with her for four miles was encouraging."

Jytte Pedersen, 36, from Denmark, finished third in 36:52, one second ahead of Alisa Harvey. Pederson, in town for a biomedical conference at NIH in Bethesda, was headed home a few hours after the race.

Alan Raul, co-founder of the race and director emeritis, ran for the first time in four years. While Raul wouldn't divulge his finishing time, he pronounced himself "officially getting in shape--again." Raul said a record of more than 3,300 runners registered, raising more than $300,000 for the American Heart Association.

"This is a major fundraiser and we're proud of the work we do for them," Raul said.

Maria Spinnler, 41, from Hagerstown, was the first masters runner and claimed an open award for placing sixth overall in 39:02. Spinnler, who celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary last week with her coach and husband, Mike, raced eight consecutive weekends earlier this spring. Laura Freix, 42, from Centreville, ran 40:45 and won the award as top master.

Dave Berardi, 42 (on left in photo, approaching the finish), from Baltimore, ran 34:14 to win the men's masters race. Berardi, near exhaustion from his effort in the high humidity, was 12th overall. Ted Poulos, 41, from McLean, was second in 34:35.

"I totally bonked at the end," Berardi said. "I just wanted it to be over."

Not that everyone felt that way, but like the guy who bangs his head with a hammer, sometimes the best part for runners on a hot day is finishing. And then taking an easy run the next day.
