Dakotah Lindwurm After Finishing 12th In The 2024 Paris Olympics Marathon (2:26:44) And Why She's Running The NYC Marathon | Race Recap + Reflection
"I love when I can hear, ‘Look at how good she looks!’ or, ‘She's smiling, that's awesome!’ I hope that one person sees it and is like, ‘If an elite marathoner can have fun while doing this, maybe I can.’"
Dakotah Lindwurm just wrapped up an impressive performance at the Paris Olympic Marathon, finishing in 12th place with a time of 2:26:44.
She was the Olympic Trials third place finisher but just finished as the top American in Paris. Training went really well in the build-up and she admits to believing she was capable of medaling.
After the halfway mark, she even found herself in the lead of the race. On a course that was tough and hilly, Dakotah stuck to her steady strategy. While others were surging and falling back, she maintained her pace, staying within striking distance of the leaders. She fared well on the hills that broke several of the top marathoners and then shared a story of how a little boy on the side of the road helped energize her enough to finish strong and pass reigning Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir toward the end of the race.
Dakotah is taking a lot of confidence from this one and is ready for her next one – the TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 3rd. We talk about her goals for that one and how Paris has totally warped our thinking on how tough hills are.
