Just phenomenal.
How does this rank among 60+ women all-time?

World record is 3:02:50, American record 3:05:10. The catch here is they go by gun time not chip time for records, so it might be a toss up if she gets the American record. And is Boston record eligible?
Great performance, JBS.
?
At 61, she is 40 or so minutes slower than at her peak in her twenties. This site recently celebrated a male runner of 59 who, in running 2.29, was only 16 minutes off his peak. There's something a little odd with this picture. Should JBS be running 2.40xx?

JBS is also 35 minutes slower than a woman who has just run her best time - 2.29 - at 41. Why isn't JBS running pr's? She needs to get with the programme.
Because she doesn't train nearly as hard anymore?
Also you know people age at different rates.
I respect Ms. Benoit-Samuelson
