Husband and Wife Win Seattle Marathon
(11-27-06) The Sunday after Thanksgiving each year, runners from across the country and from across the Northwest converge on Seattle to participate in its annual marathon and related events. This year was no different, other than the fact that local running icon, Uli Steidl, did what no other runner has done in the history of the event - running away with his eighth consecutive Seattle Marathon title.
34-year-old Steidl won the University of Washington Medical Center Seattle Marathon in 2:27:51, but was being chased by Bend, Oregon's Andy Martin, 31, a professional triathlete who finished a little more than a minute later clocking 2:29:08 for the 26.2-mile distance. Nick Merrill, who was seventh in 2005 with a 2:44:22, took third in 2:37:49.
On the women's side, Uli's wife Trisha Steidl made it a perfect day for the family, winning in 3:01:36. Christine Rehwald, 27, took second in 3:05:15 and Ann Armstrong rounded out the top three in 3:05:39.
Complete for the marathon and all other related events can be found at www.seattlemarathon.org
