16:19 time at the five-K mark.

The first woman across the

She had run behind Ansems
most of the race and was the ob-
ject of most photographers and
TV camermen. —

“If nothing else, they sure
shot a lot of video of me and this
woman,” he told us. »

The first three runners were
all within nine seconds of each
other, which added up to an ex-
citing finish.
