By Edison Jefford Cleveland Forde was just too good against any plan his opposition may have hatched against him yesterday morning in the Courts 10km Road Race, romping to his second straight win in as many weekends to further underline his local supremacy. A heavy lead pack, which included Dennis Horatio, Nathaniel Giddings, Tyshon Bentick, Lionel D’Andrade, Winston Missenger and Cleveland Thomas went out pacing against Forde in the first two kilometres, with Forde about five metres behind. However, it took only another kilometre before the pack was strung out with Giddings, who went back to his barefooted preference and Thomas about 20m ahead of the others. It was clear that an intention was there to pressure Forde early in the race. But just before the halfway stage, Forde proved many who believed that he did not have primary endurance wrong when he worked to overhaul Thomas and Giddings’ lead, joining them on their way back to the finish line around the five kilometre mark. Horatio and Missenger formed the second pack with D’Andrade, Bentick and Devon Barrington forming the tertiary packs about 20 metres behind. Thomas and Giddings managed to maintain a stranglehold on Forde, who fell 15 metres off the intense pace. Again, Forde worked to overhaul their lead just after the seven kilometre stage and suddenly got into another gear midway through the deciding kilometres; Thomas and Giddings were unable to respond and it was Forde against himself and the clock yet again. “I came out to just do my best. I know it would have been tactical for me. There was no need for me to push myself to the limit, even though I was tired at the end. I expected more of a challenge this time,” Forde told Kaieteur Sport following the race.
He clocked 33:02, which was 14 seconds faster than he went last Sunday, to win. Thomas was second in 33:16, which was the time Forde won with last week; he shaved 26 seconds off of his last performance, while Giddings was third in 33:19; Missenger finished fourth in 34:09, beating Dennis Horatio (34:59) into fifth place in the Men’s overall race. United States-based, Euleen JosiahTanner ran unchallenged to win the Women’s race in 38:37 with Jevina Straker finishing second in 43:07; Ashanti Scott finished third in 46:26 with Carlissa Atkinson (48:22) fourth and Shion Boyer (50:00) in fifth. In the Junior Boys category, Grivon Grant won in 36:07 ahead of Rupununi’s Samuel Kaitan and Kevin Nicholas, who had 36:26 and 36:43 respectively. Carl McKenzie (36:46) was fourth in the race while Leon Nick (39:20) rounded off the top five finishers. Linden’s Cassie Kirton won the Junior Girls race in 43:54 ahead of Abdemi Roberts (45:11) and Shantel Hinds (54:38) in that order. Mearisha Carter (1:09) was fourth. Cyrleen Phillips once again emerged winner of the Masters Women in 50:29 with Denise Jeffrey the affable du and tri-athlete second in 55:19; Simone Baburam (57:14), Carla Benjamin (1:00.6) and the former middle distance queen, Lorriann Adams (1:04.6) was third to fifth respectively in the category. Ian Archibald won the Master’s Men 4055 category in 38:17, while Errol Warde finished second in 42:23 and Linden Harrison third in 43:22; Silas Brummel (44:48) and Orin Josiah (44:51) tied up the final prize slots of the group. In the Master’s Over-55 category, it was Llewellyn Gardner, who won with 41:19, while Maurice Fagundes (47:47), Debidyal Harold (56:19), Ivelaw Henry (58:19) and Dr. George Norton (58:24) placed first to fifth respectively.
