Shadrack Biwot put aside his KPMG Invitational Mile –disappointment to win the –10k race for the second successive year.The Kenyan proved to be a cut above the rest of the elite men’s runners on Saturday as he cruised to a comfortable –victory in a time of 30 minutes, 28 seconds, 30 seconds ahead of second place Kumsa Magersa of Ethiopia.Magersa crossed the line in a time of 30.58 to better his third place finish from a year ago, while mile champion Phillip Lagat came third crossing the tape in 30.59.Biwot admitted the –disappointment from losing his mile title still lingered, but was thrilled to defend his 10k crown.“It feels great to win again, I’m a little disappointed about last night but sometimes it goes like that, you win some you lose some,” said Biwot. “I’m happy about today’s performance and for the win.“I didn’t want to mess up like last night in the mile, so I took my time and enjoyed the ride with the other guys until I made my move.“At about five kilometres I decided to make my move and by time I looked back I was by myself so the rest of the way I enjoyed myself.”The first local runner, Chris Estwanik, was fourth clocking in at 31.04, while Sean Trott rounded out the top five in 33.39.Estwanik ran last year’s race while pushing his daughter, Somers, all the way around the course in a stroller and admitted that this year’s event had been a little less tasking.“It was a bit easier without the baby jogger this year but it was fun and these guys ran a good race,” said Estwanik, who won last weekend’s Fairmont to Fairmont Road Race.“They broke away from me at about two and half miles in. I managed to close the gap a bit in the last mile and a half but I ran out of distance.“The speed isn’t here for me as this is my first real race of the year in a long time and I’m pleased with how my body responded to the effort I wanted to get out of it.“This sets me up well for the May 24th derby, I don’t have the strength at the moment because I’m taking off a few months in the summer, as I get older in order to make it through the whole season I need a good rest period.”In the elite women’s race Jamaican Korene Hinds was crowned champion in a time of 33:56. In second was her compatriot and training partner Kenia Sinclair in 34.27 and Panama’s Rolanda Bell who came home in 37.52.Hinds, who finished runner-up to Sinclair in Friday’s elite women’s KPMG Invitational Mile, said: “I didn’t go out with a real plan, I just went out to race from how I felt from last night and when I first came out this morning it was a bit cold but it turned out to be a good day.“My fellow country lady and I worked together up until mile five and it felt pretty good. I started a bit tight but as the race wore on played it smart.“I figured at about mile five I needed to start pushing it and see how it goes so I tested myself and it paid off in the end.“We ran together pretty much the whole way and it was nice to have her there and we worked together so it was good for both of us.“It’s great to be here and run with all the fans out there to cheer you on, the weather this year was perfect compared to the first.”The first local woman to –finish the race was Victoria –Fiddick who posted a time of 41.41.
