On October 5th, Yuri Kano (Second Wind AC) won the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in San Jose, California. With an early morning start at 8:00 a.m. temperatures were low. Kano ran a comfortable first half, treating the second half of the race as a practice run for next month's Tokyo International Women's Marathon. Running together with Ethiopia's Masresha Azalech until the 10 km mark, Kano sustained a higher pace over the second half, launching a final spurt to seal her lead with 2 miles to go. For Kano, her finishing position in this race was the most important thing.
Splits:
5 km: 16:36
10 km: 33:17
10 miles: 53:35
finish: 1:10:03
Translator's note: Kano won June's Sapporo International Half Marathon in a PB of 1:08:57 and finished 3rd in July's New York City Half Marathon.
