Ethiopians Birhanu Wukaw (in photo) and Yihunlish Bekele
(in photo below)
raced to convincing wins over a revamped Capitol Hill 10K
course, in 31 minutes 58 seconds and 37:39, adding
international flair to a domestic running institution. The
event, its 29th running, circumnavigates the city's most famous
landmark -- the Capitol -- while marking and celebrating the
Hill's eclectic and historic neighborhoods. The winners, both from Addis Ababa and in the United States to
race, currently live in Washington, although Wukaw is scheduled
to join his Foot Solutions team in Atlanta soon. Wukaw won the
Lawyers Have Heart 10K in Washington last June, and Bekele ran
2:42:52 in the 2006 Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego.
In halting English, both described satisfaction with the
course, although with some disappointment in the relatively
slow efforts. "The time is not good," Wukaw said. "It is only
me running, no one fighting. Only me." He beat runner-up Robert
Wade, by 17 seconds.
Wade (26), living in Arlington but born in Waterford, Ireland,
stayed with Wukaw for only the first two miles. Wade ran the
Boston Marathon last month in what was for him a disappointing
2:33:36, and said he is just now "tipping away," rebuilding
fitness and increasing his weekly mileage from 35 to 70.
Bart Borghuis (32), took third in 32:22. Borghuis, second last
weekend at the Battle of the Boulevards 10K in 32:16, moved to
the area only recently from Philadelphia. He is married to
Veena Reddy, who ran a personal-best 2:38:08 to finish 15th in
last month's Olympic trials marathon in Boston.
