On a day where many predicted the heat would dominate the headlines, Tera Moody and Mike Sayenko let their performances speak for themselves Sunday morning.

Tera Moody pre-race Chicago 2010

Moody, running before her hometown, posted her second consecutive personal best in the Chicago Marathon finishing as the 3rd US Woman overall in 2:30:53. Although she battled a nagging toe injury for the past 8 weeks that slowed her training, Moody managed to comfortably shave 2 minutes off her time from a year ago.
