Also, don’t try to reduce the significance of her achievement, we all know Jordan Hasay was more than physically capable of racing and we all know that Shalane and Molly are incredible athletes. Desi also best the reigning champion Edna Kiplagat and beat at least one 2:19 runner. And using the weather as an excuse is bs. If any of those women wanted to win that race as badly as Desi they would have done so. Desi was the most mentally in tune athlete in that race today and she obviously fought the hardest for her victory.
