Not to take away from Sara's great effort (and time), but do realize that many 2:20-22 ladies (mostly brown) were not allowed in the race.
The field was hand picked (by what standards, we don't know).
Sara was fortunate that she was picked and fortunate the ten better ladies were not in the race.
This is white privilege. Lindsay Flanagan had to right to be in that race either.
Just sayin.........
One of the most incredible surges I've seen! Very impressive show of grit and determination despite the obvious pain.

I wonder if Ryan can keep up wife in training.
For a couple months he got back into running, doing 8 mile tempos at 5:20 pace, with the goal of pacing Sara at Houston. He stopped because he didn't like trying to coach her while suffering through workouts himself and has "only run 6 times this year." But it's kind of impressive how quickly his fitness came back while still 40 lbs over race weight.

Interesting.
Us from Africa can see London white privledge
Is it just me, or has Sara Hall been looking pretty jacked in her last few races? I wonder if she has been lifting weights with Ryan a bit.
Her finishing sprint was ridiculous... crazy leg turnover for the end of a marathon. I never imagined she would morph into such a beast.
She is really goood.

Sara details how racing by yourself was difficult for her.
The sound of her footsteps from mile 4 on the London streets.
She made adjustments when the pacers did not follow the pre-race instructions.
She needs competition to get the most out of herself.
