Former Alamosa resident Deena Kastor won the women’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona half-marathon Sunday.
Kastor, who was the marathon bronze medalist at the 2004 Athens Games, won a race for the first time in 10 months. She broke her right foot in the 2008 Beijing Olympics marathon.
Her time was 1 hour, 9 minutes, 43 seconds. She was on pace for the American record before a head wind and lack of competition slowed her down in the second half of the race.
“This race solidifies that my training has been going well,” Kastor said. “Running sub-1:10 off this training makes me excited about my next phase.”
Kastor plans to run the London Marathon in April.
