When Victory Looks Nothing Like You Imagined
Rain slashed sideways across Boylston Street as Des Linden charged toward the finish line alone, her frozen fingers fumbling uselessly at her jacket zipper. This wasn't how she'd pictured winning Boston thousands of times during Michigan training runs. Just hours earlier, she'd stood barefoot in her hotel room, her pre-race checklist reduced to a single word: survive. The forecast promised a nor'easter-freezing rain, howling winds, temperatures in the thirties. She'd spent eight months battling hypothyroidism so severe a nurse warned she'd be dead without medication. Her European tune-up races had been disasters. She'd publicly criticized her team's coaching decision days before the race. Everything pointed toward dropping out quietly. Yet somehow, impossibly, she was about to become the first American woman to win Boston in thirty-three years. The question isn't just how she got there-it's how someone learns to keep running when every rational reason says stop.
