What she was doing was running her way to an unexpected second place finish. “When I realized I was out ahead, it was like, shit, shit, shit, what are you doing?” “I felt good-or as good as you can at mile 19 of your first marathon-everybody else slowed down on the hill, and I just kept going the same pace,” Seidel remembers. Then, as they raced up a hill, she and one other runner, Alphine Tuliamuk, separate from everyone else. But 19 miles into the race, Seidel finds herself tucked into the leading pack of runners. A difficult task, made even more challenging by the fact that it was her first ever marathon.
When distance runner Molly Seidel lined up to race the Olympic marathon trials, she knew she’d have to finish in the top three to make it to Tokyo.
