Two years ago today... ❤️
Year after year, she has kept at it, bringing her marathon down from her debut of 2:44:56 in 2007 to her PR of 2:22:38, which she set at that Boston race in 2011.
Today’s win, in 2:39:54, was the slowest in 40 years at Boston. She survived a battle of attrition with those most Linden-like of traits: keeping at it, pushing ahead, running intelligently. A few miles later, when Mamitu Daska of Ethiopia made a break for the front, Linden helped Molly Huddle, another prerace favorite, try to track Daska down.
“It was brutal,” Linden said. “I don’t think I’ve ever raced that distance in those conditions. My hands were freezing. There were times you were just stood up by the wind, it was kind of comical how slow you were running and how much farther I had to go. It was definitely the toughest conditions on the cold side that I’ve had to run in.”
