Woman gets head start, wins LA Marathon (AP)
Russia’s Tatiana Aryasova made a smashing marathon debut Sunday, taking advantage of a head start on the male runners to capture the Los Angeles Marathon. She held off a group of Kenyan men and finished in 2 hours, 29 minutes and 9 seconds. She gave little thought to the men in pursuit. “It didn’t matter to me,” she said through a translator.
