2014 Boston Marathon recap

Everybody was very couscous the day of the Boston marathon, There were many runners and fans taking risks of being there because of the bombing that happened last year. the females elite division, there was a lot of talented runners especially Americans all star shalene Flanagan. Every year she runs this race wanting to win. Right before the race started she was silent and didn't even look up and wave to the fans. When the gun went off she bolted!!! Her first mile was a blazing 5:11 and the lead runners had some trouble keeping up with her pace.. with in 13.1 miles she started to struggle with agonizing pains.. she started to die down with 4 runners passing her. BUT she finished 7th overall with 26.2 miles completed in 2 hours and 22 seconds.. That to me is amazing because she had a 5:36 for a whole 26 miles...WOWW Anyways Rita jeptoo from Kenya had won the race with a very fast time of 2:18.She had told the media that whenever she runs a race like this she always sticks behind the front leaders then creeps in front half way threw the race to the front and gives it her all. Rita had also won the BM in 2002 so she is very talented. At the end of the race Rita gave credit to shalene for " sparking the historic run with going out with a bang" in the beginning to halfway point in the marathon. Overall, the top 10 female finishers all ran their fastest times in the boston marathon.shalene flanagen says the she will remain still competing until she wins this race for boston.
