Behind
Deena Kastor (left) and Sylvia Mosqueda, the pack included...
|
...Colleen
De Reuck, Magdalena Lewy Boulet, and Jen Rhines...
|
...with
a slight gap back to Deeja Youngquist and Jenny Spangler. Heather
Hanscom ran in ninth.
|
L-R:
De Reuck, Rhines, Lewy Boulet, Spangler, and Youngquist.
|
Mosqueda
is known for having led the 1988 Marathon Trials by a large margin
for 16 miles before dropping out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
was Kastor's first appearance at the Olympic Marathon Trials.
|
Kastor
and Mosqueda pass through Muny Circle.
|
A
pack of women heads the other way.
|
Just
over 56 minutes into the race, Blake Russell continued to hold a
large lead.
|
Just
past the one-hour mark, Deena Kastor is a speck in the distance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Russell
reportedly only took water during the race and didn't put out her
own bottles.
|
#105
Kim Harrity and #141 Diana Bowser run together.
|
Russell
passes by a clock around the halfway point (her split was reported
in the results as 1:12:17, though).
|
1:24
into the race, Kastor had visibly closed the gap on Russell...
|
...and
it would only be a matter of time before Kastor caught up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Russell
runs by a sign that reads, "In America, we like our women fast!"
|
Russell
appeared to take a gel at this point in the race (1:33 in)...
|
...and
behind her, Kastor took her bottle of Cytomax.
|
Kastor
caught Russell in the 18th mile, 1:38 into the race...
|
...and
passed her decisively.
