Robert Cheseret makes the comeback trail look as if it's paved with gold.
Cheseret, 26, of Colorado Springs, and James Boitt of Greeley battled for six miles down the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail in Saturday's Classic 10K. And then Cheseret found another gear.
"It was neck-and-neck until the last quarter of a mile, and that's when I started to kick," Cheseret said. "He (Boitt) didn't have speed, but he was strong. I've been working on my speed."
The Kenyan-born Cheseret hit the finish line in Monument Valley Park in 29 minutes, 42.15 seconds, just short of the course record of 29:30 (2005, Charles Kamindo.)
"At the halfway, we were 10 seconds away from the record and we chased it," Cheseret said. "But I missed by about 12 seconds."
But consider this. Cheseret, brother of 2010 3,000-meter world indoor champion Bernard Lagat, is just now finding his form after years of injuries and other setbacks. Cheseret trains as a member of the Army's World Class Athlete Program, and is coached by Gary Staines, owner of the Runner's Roost. The program gives soldiers with world-class potential a chance to train to compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
"Robert has the pedigree," Staines said. "This year, we're working to get him into shape, get him running competitively again."
An Olympic berth is Cheseret's goal. But he has some work to do.
"Right now, American distance running, especially in the 5 and 10K, is the best it's ever been," Staines said. "I think he realizes what he is coming into. We want to get him down to 27:30 (10K). If he can do that, he as good a chance as anyone else."
In the women's race Fiona Docherty, 34, of Boulder, didn't miss, setting a new race record of 33:32.45.
"All I can say is ... I really didn't expect that," Docherty said.
 The New Zealand-born Boulder resident jumped out to an early lead and never trailed in a super competitive field that included Tera Moody (Colorado Springs), Alisha WIlliams (Manitou Springs), Colleen De Reuck (Boulder), and Amanda Occhi (Colorado Springs).
A triathlete who "always had a passion for running," Docherty said she spent the last couple of years chasing the aforementioned pack. But with the help of Boulder running coach Steve Jones (who once held the marathon world record ... for a few days) she is making big progress.
"Last year I was running behind them and trying to catch the," Docherty said. "This year I'm in the mix, so it's fun."
Docherty and Moody are both training for the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 10. Moody said she was happy with her second-place effort of 33:57:10.
"I put in 120 miles this week already, so I'm thrilled to have run that fast.
De Reuck was third (34:16.8), followed by Wiliams (34:50.65) and Occhi (36:10.5)
In the men's race, Michael Aish (34, Arvada) placed third in 29:58.95, followed by Adam Rich (above right, 29, Colorado Springs, 30:38:65) and Japeth Nc'ojoy (22, Greeley, 20:48.85.)
