Post image for Mardi Gras Half Marathon 2010, New Orleans, Results : Lel beats Wanjiru

Two-time London Marathon champion Martin Lel of Kenya outpaced his countryman and half-marathon world record holder Sammy Wanjiru at the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Half Marathon in New Orleans Sunday, winning in 1:01:07.

The top men ran a little slower than they are capable of going (Wanjiru’s world record is 58:33), largely because Lel and Wanjiru both have been logging heavy miles in preparation for April’s London Marathon. Nevertheless, after finishing Lel said, “I felt very comfortable the whole way. I had good legs today.”

On the women’s side, Ethiopia’s Berhane Adere, age 36, won the Half Marathon in New Orleans in 1:07:52, the fastest women’s half-marathon time ever run in America. She won a thrilling duel with New Zealand’s Kim Smith, who finished a close second in 1:07:55.

A total of 13,000 runners participated in the two races.
