The Olympic bronze medalist finished fourth today, her time of 2:24:42 being a personal best on a tough course.
and Ethiopian runners Ruti Aga and Ababel Yeshaneh first pulled away from the larger pack just afterward, Seidel briefly lost contact, then caught up again.
Her goal from the beginning was to race as hard as she could, Seidel said, and gave credit to her coach Green for “keeping my mental state in the place where I was, even though I was hurting, I was able to go out and make those moves.” Her approach, she said, is always a bold one: “You gotta go see what you can do, kind of have that attitude of, if you don't try, you’ll never know.”
But as Jepchirchir continued to pick up her pace—she covered 35 to 40K in 16:39, joined by Yeshaneh and Kenya’s Viola Cheptoo—Seidel ultimately couldn’t match it. By 20 miles, she’d dropped back to fifth, 13 seconds behind the leaders. She ran much of the rest of the race alone, finishing a little over two minutes behind third-place finisher Yeshaneh .At that point, Seidel said, she focused on not letting the women behind her catch up and looking at her watch to stay on pace.
Fifth Avenue, especially, was challenging. But energy from the crowd enabled her to keep pushing, and she finished nearly a minute and a half ahead of fifth place finisher Helalia Johannes of Namibia, who ran 2:26:09. Seidel’s ribs did hurt, especially later in the race, but didn’t limit her lung capacity or affect her stride, she said.ANGELA WEISS

NYC Marathon returns from pandemic pause for 50th runningGary Muhrcke was an amateur when he became the first runner to cross the finish line at a New York City Marathon, and none of the 54 men who followed him were pros, either. The race's 1970 debut — staged entirely in Central Park — hardly resembled the five-borough track that has drawn millions into the Big Apple's streets on the first Sunday of nearly every November since. The 50th edition of the NYC Marathon will certainly test that.
