Deena Kastor wins women's olympic trials!

What an amazing morning! The Olympic Women's Marathon trials passed just a few blocks from our apartment. We walked over the Mass. Ave bridge and saw these amazing athletes run the bridge loops. Deena Kastor made a great push to overtake the lead, Lewy Boulet, three miles from the finish. Joan Benoit Samuelson, winner of the Olympic gold medal in 1984, powered her way to a strong finish and hopefully made her goal of running a sub 2:50. In a short while, you should be able to see official results here, but unofficial results at WBZ news posted Kastor's time at 2:29:35.
