FREIHOFERS 5KM RUN FOR
WOMEN, USA
Before the gun fired for the start of this morning’s
28th running of the Freihofer’s Run for Women 5K
in downtown Albany, NY, the consensus was that
this was Lornah Kiplagat’s race to lose. The 32-
year-old Kenyan-born Dutchwoman had proved
dominant in almost every race she had run this
year. At the tape, however, it was Australia’s
Benita Johnson who prevailed, her win coming as
the culmination of one of the most thrilling
competitions in the history of the race.
This was the finest Freihofer’s field ever
assembled. Hopes of an improvement of Asmae
Leghzaoui’s 2005 course record (15:18) were
dashed, however, by torrential rains that battered
New York’s Capital District throughout the night
and that continued unabated until after the race
had been completed.
It may have dampened conditions on the starting
line, but the rain could do nothing to quench the
competitive fire that was evident from the
moment the field of 3144 got women underway.
Characteristically, Kiplagat charged immediately
to the forefront, opening a stride lead within the
first 400m and 10m within the first 800m
Benita Johnson tracked her. At one mile (1600m),
passed in 4:58 it was purely a two-woman race.
The chasing pack - including Amy Rudolph
(Providence, RI), Dorota Guca (POL), Lineth
Chepkirui (KEN), Sally Barsosio (KEN) and course
record holder Legzhaoui (MAR) - were 20m back
and fading.
But then Natalya Berkut from Ukraine charged
through the second mile, closing the gap entirely
