The local New Orleans paper, The Times-Picayune,
have a quaint and old-fashioned way of giving the
splits in miles. But, whether you consider them
that way, or in metric equivalents, they show
that Isabella Ochichi did not hang about: 1 mile
4:46, 2 mile 9:39 and 3 mile 14:37……

Ochichi runs away with women’s title

. . . . Benita Johnson set some of her own marks
Saturday morning. The 26-year old Australian
broke her personal best in a 10K by 11 seconds
and set an Australian national road record with 31:28.

"That's a real breakthrough for my country and
for myself," Johnson said. "I ran the race I
wanted to run. And my last mile was really good
and fast, so I was really happy with that. This
is a really fast course, and it was fairly hard
conditions with the humidity. So to run the race I did today was great. "

But Johnson knew early on that no one would catch Ochichi on this day.

"She got away a bit at the start," Johnson said.
"She's the world's best road runner at the
moment, I think, in the 5K and the 10K. She ran
really good. She was just too good for everybody today."

<http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index.ssf?/base/sports-23/1145167384228520.xml>h\
ttp://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index.ssf?/base/sports-23/1145167384228520.xml

How refreshing to see an Australian runner quoted
internationally with such caring and mature comments . . . . .

ONE WOMAN'S VIEW: "My husband and I went driving
around the city yesterday and saw some of the
worst-hit areas. And it's really sad," said
Australia's Benita Johnson, who finished second in the women's field.

"We think that coming to a big race like this and
supporting a community event is the best thing
you can do to rebuild the community and bring
people together. I think the city has done a
great job. The people have helped themselves. The
people are so passionate about their city and
their homes. And I think that's fantastic. It's
certainly something to aspire to."
