MEN'S PHOTOS

Susan Chepkemei, 29, of Kenya pulled off a bit of an upset...
...on the women's side, defeating Catherine Ndereba...
...a five-time champion here. Chepkemei's winning...
...time of 31:36 was less than two seconds away from Ndereba's course record.
Japan's Masako Chiba, 28, finished second in 31:51.
Alvetina Ivanova, 29, of Russia, finished 20th in 31:56.
Tatyana Petrova, 21, of Cheboksary, Russia, finished 25th in 32:22.
For the first time in the race's seven year history, it rained (lightly) during the race.
Catherine Ndereba, who is training to compete in the Olympic Marathon on August 22nd...
...finished fifth in 32:31. Ndereba, a native of Kenya, spends much of her time...
...training in Royersford, Pennsylvania.
Luminita Talpos of Boulder, Colorado, and Romania, finished sixth in 32:37.
Madai Perez, 24, of Mexico finished seventh in 33:08. Perez won the Bolder Boulder 10K in May.
Though she ran a 2:27 marathon to finish second in Rotterdam this year, Mexican officials...
...said that the mark came too late to include her on the Olympic team.
Nicole Aish, 28, who always appears to be enjoying herself when she runs, was the...
...top American finisher, taking eighth among the women in 33:09.
Aish nearly caught Perez at the finish line.
