In her first race since winning gold in the World Championships, Edna Kiplagat finished second in 49:42 in the JCL Montferland 15K in the Netherlands, just behind the winner Ethiopean Abebech Afework in 49:18. Edna ran nice steady splits of 16:42-16:48-16:14, and her husband/coach Gilbert Koech said it is a good sign that she is fully recovered as the Olympic year approaches.
