Recap of 2012 NYC Half-Marathon: Peter Kirui & Firehiwot Dado Prevail After Head To Head Battles
After 13:44 1st 5k, Kirui Runs 2nd Fastest Men's Time Ever (59:39) as Dado Sets Women's Course Record (68:35); Kim Smith And Deriba Merga Finish 2nd
By Tim Loh
March 18, 2012
NEW YORK - In what quickly became head-to-head battles around Manhattan, Kenya's Peter Kirui outkicked Deriba Merga of Ethiopia, and Ethiopia's Firehiwot Dado pulled clear of New Zealand's Kim Smith, to claim the 2012 NYC Half Marathon titles on Sunday morning.
Under a cool, cloudy sky, the races had similar setups but different endings.
Kirui, 24, pulled Merga along for most of the race, far ahead of the rest of the field, but couldn't bury him until the final stretch. Finishing in 59:39, Kirui ran the fastest time here since Haile Gebrsellasie set a course record of 59:25 in 2007.
On the women's side, Dado clung to Smith's shoulder for almost the entire race, just like Merga. But unlike her countryman, Dado catapulted ahead of Smith on the last uphill and held on to set a course record of 1:08:35, eight seconds ahead of Smith.
American Kara Goucher claimed third place, having kept pace with the leaders for the final nine miles -- albeit a half-minute back.
Right from the start, the American men were basically fighting for fourth place in a large chase pack. But they faded over the last couple of miles and none ended up in the top 10.
Meb Keflezighi was 12th in 1:01:41; Dathan Ritizenhein 14th in 1:01:52; and Scott Bauhs 1:02:44.
MEN'S RACE
From
the start, Merga surged ahead of the pack, looking like he thought he
was running a 5k. Only Kirui and Ethiopia's Feyisa Lilesa decided to
challenge him.
The rest of the field jumbled into a tight pack that fell steadily behind.
By 5k, looping north through the rolling hills of Central Park, Merga and Kirui had made it a two-man race. They hit the 5k in 13:44, 10 seconds ahead of Lilesa, with the chase pack including Ritzenhein, Keflezighi, Wesley Korir, Sam Chelanga, Chris Thompson and Scott Overall coming through in 14:18.
"I thought, 'That's not for me today,'" Ritzenhein later said of the surging leaders. "I was content with being in the (chase) group. If I (went with the leaders), I'd make it maybe to 10k."
Kirui and Merga came the 10k in 28:02, still on course-record pace. By then, Kirui had assumed the pacing duties. Lilesa had dropped 20 seconds back, and the chase back trailed by more than a minute. Leaving Central Park, the two leaders turned for the city's West Side Highway, where they would face winds heading south that ultimately threw them off course-record pace.

Merga Had To Settle For 2nd
|
Kirui, who in addition to winning the Kenyan 10,000 trials last year also rabbited the world's two fastest-ever record-eligible marathons, looked frustrated at having to tow Merga along. He threw in several mini surges, each time gapping Merga by a couple of strides, but not retaining pulling away. At one point, heading down the West Side Highway, Kirui turned and motioned for Merga to take over the lead. Merga didn't budge.
It wasn't until the final half mile, coming out of the Battery Park Underpass, that Merga pulled even with Kirui, setting up what might have been a gripping finish.
But Kirui, displaying the finishing speed he hopes will pay off in track this spring, pulled nine seconds clear of Merga over the last few hundred meters. Merga said later that the combination of wind and hills, which he hadn't expected, were enough to sap his finishing speed.
Meanwhile, farther back the chase pack barrelled for the finish line en masse, making it look like a road mile. Eight racers, led by the former Louisville star Wesley Korir, fanned across the road, finishing between 1:01:19 and 1:01:31.
Keflezighi Happy Despite 12th Place Finish
Keflezighi came in next, in 12th, the first American. He said he couldn't summon
the leg turnover to keep pace with the rest of the pack over the last
kilometer. But that didn't bother him.
"I'm very satisfied with the time today," he said. He's planning some shorter races in late spring, and said he hopes to focus exclusively on the Olympics in June and July, in hopes of setting a personal best in London and earning a medal.
Ritzenhein said he was happy with his time, considering it was his first race since the Olympic trials -- where he finished fourth, failing to earn an Olympic bid. "I never thought I'd be 14th place," he said. "I tried to stay with the pack as long as possible." He got gapped at about 11.5 miles, he said, and the last two miles were struggle. "My legs didn't feel great," he said. "Aeorobically, I felt great." He said he's planning to keep shortening his races to sharpen his legs for track season.
Kirui is racing at the Rotterdam Marathon on April 15. He said he's hoping to run 2:04 or 2:05, and then hopes to qualify for the Kenyan 10,000-meter Olympics team this spring.
WOMEN'S RACE
The women's race set up nearly exactly as the men's.
From the start, Kim Smith and Firehiwot Dado shot ahead of the pack, clipping off five-minute miles around Central Park. They hit 5k in 15:38 and 10k in 32:00. Smith was doing the actual leading, which she said she doesn't mind -- ordinarily.
Between 5k and 10k, Kara Goucher moved past Caroline Rotich into third place. Goucher came through 10k in 32:33 -- and then held ground with the leaders, albeit a half-minute back.
Heading down the West Side Highway, Smith and Dado looked a lot like Kirui and Merga -- the taller of the two, Smith (see: Kirui), pulled along the shorter, Dado (Merga), who refused to share in the pacing through the light headwind.
And just like in the men's race, that continued down past the World Trade Center (mile 11.5), around the bottom of Manhattan (mile 12.5), through the Battery Park Underpass, until the uphill that brings runners from the tunnel to the final quarter-mile or so of the race.
As the race turned north toward the South Street Seaport, Dado made a decisive move. Dado, who used a similar tactic to win the New York City Marathon last November, extended her lead over Smith to eight seconds over the final couple hundred meters.
Smith Disappointed She Didn't Emerge Victorious
"I'm
a little disappointed in the end result," Smith said afterward, staring
at her shoes, as Dado smiled in the chair beside her. "Just running
into the wind the second half I found a little tough. It didn't turn out
as I wanted. I tried to throw in some surges, but she was very tough.
Obviously, she's a good runner. She ran well today.
"I just tried to tell myself that she must be hurting as much as me," Smith continued. "But obviously she wasn't."
Dado said she had been hurting, though it didn't look like it during the race.
"She's a very strong runner and she led almost the whole way," Dado said, through a translator. "Yes, I was feeling some fatigue, but I was able to keep up with her and bide my time before my kick."
Kara Goucher said she wanted to come out and run aggressively -- just not as aggressively as Smith had in mind.
"Going for the win was a little out of my league today," Goucher said. "I had a lot of fun. It was a great course, great atmosphere. Good return from the trials."
Goucher said racing the half-marathon was a chance to dip down to 100 miles a week in training. Starting April 1, she's moving to Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where Keflezighi is stationed, for a four-month stint leading up to the Olympics.
Desiree Davila, who finished in 1:10:44, said that she wasn't excited to finish in ninth, but looked forward to beginning her 10 to 11 week buildup for the Olympic marathon.
