KT's Molly Seidel First US Woman in NYC Marathon,
Post# of 7800
"Her time of 2:24:42 was a personal best and a new American course record"
"Molly Seidel, 27, followed up her historic Olympic performance by finishing today’s NYC Marathon in fourth place and first American. Her time of 2:24:42 is a personal best, beating the 2:25:13 she ran in London last year, and also betters Kara Goucher’s course record of 2:25:53, set in 2008.
And it’s all the more remarkable given that, as she revealed in the postrace press conference, Seidel broke two ribs about a month ago. She didn’t go into details about what caused the injury, but said it was so painful at times that she considered not lining up at all."
