Its not that anyone questioned Gwen Jorgensens running ability, but the 2016 Olympic triathlon champion and St. Paul, Minn., resident had never run 26.2 miles before starting Sundays New York City Marathon.Even though she says she wasnt entirely prepared for her first marathon, she turned in a pretty solid effort, finishing 14th overall in 2:41:01 against a strong field, just 71 days after winning gold at the Rio Olympics.Jorgensen, 30, said she wasnt entirely happy with the result and admitted she had some muscle soreness shes not used to, but overall said she had a great experience.Related story from Competitor.com: Sundays top finishersRelated story from Competitor.com: Abdi Abdirahman defies age, finishes thirdRelated story from Competitor.com: 45 reasons we love the NYC MarathonShe wound up beating a few notable pro American runners in the race, including two-time U.S. Olympian Kim Conley, who was also making her debut at the distance and placed 16th in 2:41:38, and Janet Bawcom, a 2012 Olympian at 10,000m on the track who placed 19th Sunday in 2:48:13. (For reference, Kenyas Mary Keitany won the race in 2:24:26.)It was a new experience for me and it was really exciting, Jorgensen said after the race. I have a great respect for the course and the distance, and I know the other professional runners in the race are very talented and hard-working. A couple of them flew by me at the end and I couldnt hang on.Jorgensen committed to running the New York City Marathon shortly after the biggest triathlon win of her career on Aug. 21 in Rio de Janeiro. Her race distances for that event included a 1.5K swim, a 40K bike ride and a 10K run.Then on Oct. 8, Jorgensen held her own at the U.S. 10-Mile Championship on the roads in Minneapolis, placing third overall in 53:13-about 5:19 pace per mile and just 24 seconds behind winner Jordan Hasay.Click here to read the full story from Competitor.com.

Avalanche Jerseys 2021 . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles have come to expect home runs from Chris Davis, who delivered a much-needed clout in the seventh inning of a tight game against the Cleveland Indians. What happened next came as a complete surprise. Light-hitting Alexi Casilla capped a five-run seventh with a three-run homer, and the Orioles broke a four-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory Tuesday night. Davis tied the game at 3 with his major league-leading 28th home run, a two-run shot. Casilla hadnt homered all season before crushing a pitch from Justin Masterson (9-6). On a team that leads the majors in home runs, contact can come from anyone -- even the No. 9 batter in the order. "That takes pressure off the big guys, to know that weve got other guys who can contribute, and do contribute," leadoff hitter Nate McLouth said. "Alexi came up huge tonight." Much to the delight of his teammates, who have come to appreciate the hard-working backup second baseman. "It was awesome," Davis said. "I think everybodys pulling for him right there, obviously trying, hoping that hell just get a base hit. Then he does that, provided a little bit of a jolt of adrenaline for everybody." It was Casillas first home run since August 8, 2012 -- also off Masterson. That was enough to end a four-game skid in which Baltimore lost three games to Toronto and another to Cleveland by a combined 29-15 score. "I feel great to hit that home run after we lost four games," Casilla said through interpreter Einar Diaz. "I felt like I had to come and do something for the team and I did it that time." Chris Tillman (9-2) gave up three runs, four hits and four walks in seven innings to win his fifth straight start. The right-hander is 6-0 in seven starts since May 19. He was in position to lose until Davis and Casilla went deep. "Awesome, awesome," Tillman said. "Last year, I think its every night, its somebody new, somebody else. Its good to see. This is a pretty tight-knit team and we enjoy seeing that. Its fun for all of us." Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 27th save. Jason Kipnis homered, walked twice and singled for the Indians, who were seeking a fourth straight road victory for the first time since April 2012. Masterson, whho was perfect through four innings, took a three-hitter into the seventh but ended up allowing six runs and six hits in 6 1-3 innings.dddddddddddd "Its a good lineup," the right-hander said. "Everything was working well through six innings. Unfortunately we got to the seventh. Then it wasnt working as well." The Baltimore seventh began with Masterson hitting Adam Jones with a pitch and Davis sending the right-handers next offering into the bleachers. After Matt Wieters drew a walk and Chris Dickerson reached on a check-swing grounder, both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Then Casilla cleared the bases. "When he threw the breaking ball that went to the backstop, now we have to play kind of halfway," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "He tried to be fine and threw a breaking ball to Casilla that was in the middle of the plate." And although Casilla had only 11 career homers -- now an even dozen -- he put a good enough swing on the slider to put it in the seats. "Thats what we talked about before the series to all our pitchers," Francona said. "When you let them get their arms extended, especially in this ballpark, they are very dangerous 1 through 9." Cleveland used a single, two walks and a sacrifice fly by Michael Brantley to go up 1-0 in the first inning. In the second, the Indians put runners at the corners with no outs but could not score. After allowing six of the first 12 Cleveland batters to reach base, Tillman retired the next six in a row. The streak ended in the fifth inning, when Michael Bourn led off with a double and Kipnis hit a 3-1 pitch into the left-field seats. Baltimore got a run back in the bottom half. Jones singled, took third on a single by Davis and scored on a grounder by J.J. Hardy. NOTES: Cleveland dropped to 11-2 on the road when leading after six innings. ...
