Sean Trott successfully defended his Labour Day Five Mile Road Race title without hardly breaking a sweat yesterday.The top middle distance runner broke the tape in a time of 26 minutes and 34 seconds to clinch a second Labour Day win on the trot.Trott, who competed in the 10,000 metres at this summer’s NACAC Under 23 Championships in Mexico, broke away from the rest of the field after the two mile mark and never looked back as he cruised to a comfortable win.His time was 14 seconds faster than the time (26:48) he recorded in last year’s Swan’s Running Club sanctioned event.“I wasn’t honestly expecting to get under it (last year’s time) so that was a good surprise,” Trott told The Royal Gazette. “I really felt good.“I took off from the beginning and got right into a good pace and after that I felt so good I just went with it and held it all the way to the end.“The last mile I was holding back a bit and that was the toughest part there. But all the hills felt good and that’s where I made my move to pull away.”Finishing second behind Trott was James O’Shea whose time of 28 minutes and 20 seconds was a personal best over the distance.Gideon Kigotho rounded out the top three men with a time of 29 minutes and 52 seconds respectively.Finishing a solid fourth overall was teenage runner Juma Mouchette who won a bronze medal in the 5,000 metres at this year’s Carifta Games.The Berkeley Institute student covered the distance in 30 minutes and 19 seconds.“It was a nice comfortable run and I always enjoy doing the Labor Day Race,” Mouchette said. “I was trying to run as much as possible in the shade because the conditions were hot.“It was actually hotter than I expected and because there were only two water stops you had to run smart.”Taking the women’s crown this year was Australian Hilda Stoney who used the race as a warm up for the upcoming New York Marathon.The mother of two ran a personal best 33 minutes and ten seconds over the distance to chalk up a maiden win on Bermudian soil since moving to the Island several years ago.“I think I wanted to run a 35 so that was definitely a surprise and a bonus as well,” Stoney said. “It’s certainly motivating because I’m training for the New York Marathon so I really didn’t do this as a race of such. This was more just to see where I’m at. I know it’s not the best test, but it’s something.“It was a relatively small race so me coming first is not really like I’m the fastest runner in Bermuda. It’s just good to run out there without any pressure behind you and I was fairly relaxed throughout, which was good.”Catherine Mello (37:08) and Martina Olcheski Bell (37:39) rounded off the podium finishers in the women’s field.
