After leading the USA Olympic Team Trials - Men’s Marathon on Nov. 3, in New York City for the first five kilometers, marathoner Michael Wardian was back on the roads again, winning yesterday’s OBX Marathon in North Carolina in 2:24:16.

This was nothing unusual for the 33 year-old athlete from Arlington, Va., who has completed 13 marathons this year, five of them sub-2:30. In both March and April he ran two marathons just six days apart. He’s won four marathons this year.

At the Trials, Wardian was the race’s early leader, running alone through 5 km (16:20). He faded to finish 92nd in 2:30:54, running halves of 1:09:26 and 1:21:28.
