Greely, CO flyer Sammy Nyamongo, 34 (via Kenya) separated from the lead pack at the 8-mile mark of the 33rd annual Staples Cape Cod Marathon on a solo jaunt through the Sippewisset hills, past Woods Hole, by Nobska Light and down Surf Drive to the finish line by the Falmouth Green.

“It was not easy, this is a tough course for sure,” said Nyamongo after winning in 2:28:56 ($1.5K). “When there is a group everyone helps each other out, so it is not easy alone. Along the water there was a breeze that was also tough going.”

Newton’s Tom Davis, 23, was the surprise runner-up in 2:31:05. “I went with the lead pack for the first mile and that was in 5:30,” said the former Richmond runner. “I wanted to do 6’s but those guys kept going at the same pace. I knew they’d be coming back.”

Running in his debut marathon, Davis consistently picked off everyone but Nyamongo. “At one point I saw a group of cyclists up ahead and I was, ‘Woh, is that the leader in the distance.” It was. Davis made two pit stops so figured his time was closer to 2:27.

Former Providence College runner Paul Reilly, 31, also making his 26.2 debut, outkicked veteran Mike Slinsky, 41, of Hopewell Jct., NY, for 3rd in 2:33:07 with Slinsky 3 ticks back as first Master. Former champion Keven O’Neill, 40, of N. Kingstown, RI, rounded out the top 5 in 2:35:27.

The women’s race went to defending champion Mary Lynn Currier, 46, who ran 2:59:14 to outdistance the Hopkinton RC’s Helen Dinan (3:02:39). Both athletes had run the Hartford Marathon three weeks earlier with faster times. For Currier, it was her 103rd marathon. For Dinan, it wasn’t business as usual. “I just felt tired the whole way. I won’t be doing back to back marathons anymore.”

Milford, CT’s Amanda Daws, 23, was third in 3:02:56 with Mystic, CT’s Laura Brustolon, 22, fourth in 3:04:08 and the BAA’s Jacqui Cilley was 5th in 3:08:36.

That’s all for now, it’s 3:56 at the Falmouth Inn lounge and the BA HA Brothers are about to hit the stage at NER’s post race party. Hasta.
