You say it's your birthday?
It was for Jackie O'Neil, and she celebrated her 77th with her
husband and more than 3,000 of her sweatiest friends at the
18th Lawyers Have Heart 10K, a warm and muggy affair in
Georgetown.
"It's a perfect way to spend the morning," said O'Neil, who, to
no one's surprise won her age group in 1 hour 17 minutes 3
seconds. O'Neil, who started running only about 25 years ago,
ran her fifth Lawyers run--or so she thought. "I've lost track," she said. "But this one was hot, so hot I
felt dizzy at the end. Quite frankly, I didn't put makeup on
this morning so I could dump water on my head. My hair got all
wet, too, but I didn't care."
Steven Crane (26), from Silver Spring, (in photo) added
another
win to his running resume in what has been a fine year. He won
the Van Metre 5 Mile Run in March and the Germantown 5-Miler in
May. In between, Crane ran a personal best 49:41 at the Cherry
Blossom 10 Mile run.
At Lawyers, his fitness showed again, as Crane pulled away in
the first mile, covered in a relatively slow 5:20. "I picked it
up after that," he said, "and running five-minute pace felt
pretty comfortable."
Abiyot Abebe (20), from Silver Spring, ran alone nearly the
entire way and finished second in 32:14. Jason Dwyer (28), from
Silver Spring, was third in 32:43 and four-time Lawyers winner
Philippe Rolly (35), from Fairfax, was fourth in 32:50.
Genet Gebregiorgis (in photo) sprinted away from her
Ethiopian
countrywoman Hirut Mandefro to win the women's race in the
final half mile, just as she did to win the Pike's Peek 10K in
April. Gebregiorgis (33) broke the tape in 35:57 and Mandefro
(22) was six seconds back.
"Next time, I catch her, maybe," Mandefro said somewhat
unconvincingly. "We'll see."
Marine Corps Marathon winner Kristen Henehan, coming off an
unsatisfying performance at the Olympic trials marathon in
April, took third at Lawyers in 36:25, one second ahead of
Pacers teammate Lindsay Wilkins (30).
Mark Stickley (45, photo), from Winchester, VA, finished sixth
overall
and won the masters race in 33:51, ahead of 1984 Olympic
marathoner John Tuttle (49), who ran 35:06. Last month the
tough-as-nails Stickley ran 2:34:17 in the Vermont City
Marathon. "The hardest part at this point is just staying
healthy enough to train, healthy enough to race," said
Stickley, a father of four. "It doesn't come as easily as it
used to."
Liliana Baron (49), from Potomac, (in photo below) ran 40:27 to
win the women's masters race, finishing just ahead of Ofelia
Perotti (51), from Alexandria, who ran 41:00.
D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty (37) ran 41:22 and finished 14th in his
age group.
