Chris Estwanik rewrote the history books after becoming only the second local runner behind Cal Bean to win the Bermuda Marathon Weekend 10K on Saturday.Not since 1978 had a Bermuda athlete won this event. But that all changed as Estwanik ran a tactical race to lead the overall field home in 31.03.Another local runner, Lamont Marshall, finished an equally impressive second in 31:33 followed by American Steve Slattery in 32:39.Running in overcast conditions, the trio set the early pace after bursting off the start line.But Slattery eventually fell off at the two-mile mark, leaving Estwanik and Marshall to battle for Shadrack Biwott’s vacant crown the rest of the way.Estwanik slammed his foot down on the gas at the four -mile mark and never looked back as Marshall failed to respond to the challenge and gradually faded coming in.“I’m thrilled to steal the victory,” said Estwanik. “It was great to have the local guys up there representing.”Having trained with Marshall recently, Estwanik said he was wary of what his local rival was capable of and determined not to take anything for granted.“Lamont and I have been training together and so I know what kind of shape he is in. I knew if I left it to the last half mile or so it might be a different story because he has a lot more speed than me,” Estwanik added.“I said to myself I have got to put it down now because if I don’t I may get caught at the end. :It was wasn’t really a planned thing but it worked out this time and it was just fun to be out there doing battle with Lamont.”.Marshall was delighted with his display having established two new milestones in the event.“I was definitely pleased because this is by far my best performance in time and placement,” he said. “The goal time was to get under 31:30 but not even the winner broke 31:00 so I’m definitely pleased with my run today.“The first half of the race was definitely better than the second in that the wind and conditions were a whole lot better. But I was truly blessed this morning and thank God for waking me up and allowing me to showcase my talents.”Marshall tried to hang with Estwanik after he broke away near the former’s neighbourhood at Loyal Hill. But Estwanik’s blistering pace eventually took its toll on his nearest rival.“Looking behind I had secured second and I tried to stay in striking distance if Chris slowed up,” Marshall said. “I was just trying to hang on.“But it was a great race and a good strong run for me.”Praising the local duo’s efforts, Bermuda Track and Field Association president Donna Watson said: “I am very excited with what is happening in Bermuda on the road and track.“I think our Bermuda athletes are starting to step up and we saw that today with Chris and Lamont.“We haven’t had a local runner win the international 10K in many, many years. So I think that just speaks to where the level of track and field and road running is going.“I am very pleased to see this and Bermuda should be very, very proud today.”
