It&rsquo;s true that I haven&rsquo;t run as fast as last year but in wet and humid conditions my clocking is reasonably fine.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">London and Berlin, next goals<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Asked on his plans in the near future the diminutive Kenyan, who was recently crowned Kenyan 2008 Sports Personality of the Year said: &ldquo;I now come back to Kenya and plan another Half Marathon next month in Lisbon to build-up for the London Marathon (26 April) where I&rsquo;ll be targeting a 2:04 clocking (his PB is 2h05:24); after that, I&rsquo;ll be based in Japan for my Berlin Marathon preparations; I&rsquo;ll attack the World record there, hopefully&hellip;I&rsquo;ll skip the World Championships in Berlin this summer&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>A confident Wanjiru added: &ldquo;in five years&rsquo; time I feel capable of clocking a sub 2 hours time for the Marathon.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his tactics at the Beijing Olympic Marathon he said: &ldquo;it&rsquo;s easy to explain: I pushed hard from the gun and whenever I realised that one athlete was able to live with my pace I made another kick to leave him behind,&rdquo; confirmed Wanjiru with a smile.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">WOMEN<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The women&rsquo;s section in Granollers witnessed the success of Spain&rsquo;s reigning European 5000m champion Marta Dom&iacute;nguez, who was the 20th finisher overall (men and women). <\/p>\n<p>The Spanish 3000m Steeplechase record holder went through the first half in 36:10 to build a massive 1:37 advantage over her compatriot Rosa Morat&oacute;, herself 35 seconds ahead of British marathoner Holly May.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old Dom&iacute;nguez finally cruised to a comfortable win in 70:54 (PB) to take top spot for the second time after her 2007 victory, while May caught and passed a fading Morat&oacute; with some four kilometres to go to snatch runner-up place in 74:58, also a PB, for Morat&oacute;&rsquo;s 75:32 on her debut over the distance.<br \/><br style=\"font-weight: bold;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Results<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Men:<\/span><br \/>1.
