Her time was 5 minutes slower than last year, but coming off injury, she’s counting it as a victory.
For the first 20 miles, American Emma Bates looked poised to repeat her outstanding performance in last year’s Boston Marathon, when her time of 2:22:10 earned her a fifth-place finish and a minute-plus personal best.But after leading for the majority of the race, Bates, 31, dropped off the still-large lead pack around Heartbreak Hill, and never caught back up. By mile 23, she’d dropped to 15th place.
Not long afterward, 2018 champion Des Linden caught up and offered Bates a few words of encouragement, a moment Bates described afterward as particularly meaningful.Bates slipped off the pack only briefly after mile 16, but by the next mile marker, reattached—and retook the lead for the next several miles. But as the leaders picked up the pace in the final 10K, Bates fell back.
