For the first time in 33 years, on Monday, April 16, 2018, an American woman Desiree Linden has come in first in the Boston Marathon women’s division, to run 26.2 miles through Boston. It was a nasty day, but Desiree Linden pushed her way through the wind and cold rain and up Heartbreak Hill to complete her journey in 2:39:54 (2 hours, 39 minutes, and 54 seconds). Due to the poor weather condition on the day of the race, this is the slowest time for a winner in the women’s race since 1978, according to Associated Press. Desiree Linden is a 34-year old woman from Michigan. She came in second in the Boston Marathon 2011, at 2:22:38, just two seconds behind winner Caroline Kilel. She is also a twice Olympian, Desiree “Desi” Nicole Linden is an American long-distance runner. She represented the United States in the 2012 London Olympics (dropped out due to a stress fracture shortly after starting the race) and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics women’s marathon. In 2018, she won the Boston Marathon, becoming the first American woman in 33 years to win the woman’s category in the event.
