If you don’t know who Des\nLinden is, she became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in 33\nyears on April 16, 2018. But what you may not know is that in [2011, she came in\nsecond in heartbreaking fashion, getting passed by Kenya’s Caroline Kilel with\n200 meters to go and losing by TWO\nseconds](http://archive.boston.com/sports/marathon/articles/2011/04/19/kilel_outduels_davila_in_sprint_to_the_finish/).\nIt took her SEVEN years to finally come back and win the Boston Marathon. And\nthen there’s how she did it: she overcame [25-mph headwinds and freezing\nrain](https://www.davidtran.me/boston-marathon-2018-race-report-what-it-was-like-to-run-the-boston-marathon-in-38-degree-rain-and-25-mph-winds/).\nShe twice went off her race plan to wait for teammate Shalane Flanagan to use\nthe restroom and help her catch back up with the pack, and then later tried to\nhelp teammate Molly Huddle catch back up to the lead pack.\n\nI love Des’ attitude about the race, towards training, towards life and on\novercoming failure. Highly recommend listening to the episode, but I wanted the\nshare her thoughts in particular on failure (emphasis mine):\n\n> *Last year (2017) was the big thing where “I’m trying to win the Boston\n> Marathon”. I put it out there very publicly. Afterwards, it didn’t happen, and I\nsaid I failed and that’s okay. People were like “No, you didn’t fail! You were\namazing! And this and that.” But I wanted to do this thing and I failed to do\nit. I failed. ***Failure is an action, it’s not an identity***. We do it all the\ntime. And if you learn from it, you get better and that’s how you grow. Being\nsuper afraid of failure, you kind of miss the point. Those are the lessons.\nThat’s where you learn the most. You fail your way to success.*\n\nThere’s a few things to unpack here:\n\n1.  You have to set ambitious goals and not be afraid to put them out there, albeit\nit’s up to you how publicly you want to do that. But if you’re afraid of falling\nshort and constantly focused on not wanting to fail, you won’t set real goals\ntowards achieving your potential.\n1.  Part of goal-setting is that it’s really an arbitrary point in time to measure\nyour progress — whether that’s a goal marathon time, a weight loss goal, a\nweight-lifting goal, or learning a new skill. A good goal should be measurable —\nyou should be able to clearly and objectively say whether or not you succeeded\nor failed at that point in time. Nothing wishy washy. You either win the Boston\nMarathon or you don’t. You either lose 5 pounds by next month or you don’t.\n1.  If you don’t, admit failure. If you’re uncomfortable with failure like I am and\nlike most people are, one tool that a lot of runners use is to set multiple\ngoals: [A goals, B goals, and C\ngoals](http://www.therunnersplate.com/2016/10/14/setting-a-b-and-c-goals-for-running/).\nThat way, you kind of have stepping stones for yourself. And even if you don’t\nsucceed, **you should be proud of your effort, but do admit failure.** If you\nconstantly succeed at all three goals, you probably aren’t setting your A goals\nhigh enough. **You should fail with regularity.** And when you do, admit it to\nyourself. And use it to drive you and make you better.\n1.  That said, failing often sucks. It shakes your confidence, but it’s not part of\nyour identity. I think this is where learning to love and enjoy the process of\nlearning or training or getting better is crucial. Even someone like Des Linden\nhas days where she doesn’t want to get out the door for a run. You can listen to\nthe episode to hear more about how or why she does anyway.\n\n*****\n\n*Originally published at *[www.davidtran.me](https://www.davidtran.me/des-linden-on-failure-failure-is-an-action-not-an-identity/)* on June 25, 2018.*",

      "body": "# Boston Marathon 2018 Race Report Part 2: What it was like to run in 38-degree\nrain and 25 mph headwinds\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*ei_9nha00xlnHEHG.png)\n_[If it’s not on Strava, did you even run in the rain and\nwind?](https://www.strava.com/activities/1512348750)_\n\nI previously [wrote down some thoughts about running 2017 miles in\n2017](https://www.davidtran.me/boston-marathon-2018-race-report-what-it-was-like-to-run-the-boston-marathon-in-38-degree-rain-and-25-mph-winds/17-thoughts-on-running-startups-and-life-while-running-2017-miles-in-2017/),\nbut this is my first ever attempt at a race report. I was definitely riding off\nthe adrenaline high from running my first Boston Marathon and needed a few\nd̶a̶y̶s̶ weeks to really fully process and reflect on the journey. Okay, I won’t\nlie — I was waiting for MarathonFoto to discount the race photos because I\nmissed the pre-race sale and the Asian part of me didn’t want to pay full price\nfor the race photos. But I digress. I wanted to share my experience and hope\nthis can be helpful for someone who’s looking for running inspiration, hoping to\nqualify for Boston, planning to run the Boston Marathon, or planning to run\nanother bad-weather race in the future. [I also wrote about how Boston became a\ndream, and then a goal for\nme](https://medium.com/@dtran320/boston-marathon-2018-race-report-part-1-my-journey-to-boston-11335e5439d0).\n\n### Accept what’s out of your control\n\nIn the days leading up to the Boston Marathon, I started checking the weather\nforecast obsessively. *76% chance of rain. 65% chance of rain — there’s HOPE!\n85% chance of rain, 99% chance of rain.* F*CK!\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*xKsQi63JdhbNVKX0.jpg)\n_99% chance of rain and scary-looking headwinds courtesy of Dark Sky_\n\nThe essence of this sport is that we push ourselves to the limits, and Boston’s\nweather certainly seemed like it would do just that on top of the challenge of\nrunning 26.2 miles as fast as you can. I’m not a religious person, but I found\nthe Serenity prayer recently, and it really resonated for running, love, and\nlife in the days leading up to the marathon, as well as during the marathon\nitself:\n\n> *God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,*\n\n> *Courage to change the things I can,*\n\n> *And wisdom to know the difference.*\n\n> *-“Serenity Prayer”, Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)*\n\nOnce you accept what’s out of your control: what training you did or didn’t do\nor the weather conditions, and focus on what you can control — your gear,\nnutrition, mental state, and pacing, a sense of calm overtakes you. I focused\nless on the negative — how unlucky I was to have run my first Boston in some of\nthe worst conditions in its 122-year storied history, and focused on how\nfortunate I was to get the chance to toe the line at Hopkinton feeling good\nabout my training. That made all the difference.\n\nLots of my running friends who were running Boston had set goals and were mostly\nthrowing them out the window with the weather report. I tried to go into the\nrace with a “let’s see” approach. I kind of had 2:52 as a goal in the back of my\nhead, and had boosted my confidence with a solid training block including\nrunning 1:21:17 at the Oakland Half Marathon three weeks prior.\n\n### The Morning of the Boston Marathon\n\n3:40am. My Garmin buzzed. I hadn’t slept much, but I never sleep that well the\nnight before races anyway, so I wasn’t going to worry about that. I think\nsleeping well two nights before is more important anyway. I looked out the\nwindow of my friends’ place in Worcester and saw nothing but white on the\nground. *Snow? Really? Great. Just greaaaat.* And yet, without missing a beat, I\ngot out of bed and ambled downstairs to make some oatmeal for the bus later. On\nsecond thought, *I’m pretty hungry right now, and it’ll be another 3 hours\nbefore I’m on the bus*. So I finished the first bowl of oatmeal and made another\none for the bus.\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*cIT2OITxBiULZP12.jpg)\n_Ground was definitely covered in snow at 4am_\n\nI originally had planned to take a 7am train to Framingham, then bus (turns out\nthey weren’t running) or Uber to the start line in Hopkinton. But with the bad\nweather, I really wanted to be able to check a bag in Boston: dry clothes at the\nfinish line and not having to run with my phone seemed like a good tradeoff for\nlosing sleep. I also kind of wanted the full experience of seeing all the\nrunners at Boston Common and riding the bus from Boston to Hopkinton. When I got\nin my friend Kevin’s car at 4am and saw all the snow on the road, I briefly\nthought about dropping out and going back to bed. But before I knew it, he had\ndropped me off at Union Station, then I was on the commuter rail, where I\nspotted one other runner clutching his Boston Marathon clear plastic bag. I\nconvinced myself that no matter what, this would be a race to remember.\n\nAfter we got off the bus, my [Excelsior Running Club](http://runexcelsior.org/)\nteammates and I walked over to the second tent in the Athlete’s Village. As soon\nas I stepped on the muddy slush that was the field on which the tent sat, I was\nvery happy with my decision to keep my racing shoes in a bag and wear an old\npair of shoes that I planned to donate, along with sweatpants, a pullover and\nold snow gloves. Many other runners had planned similarly with clothes they\nplanned to shed before the start or sometime during the race, ponchos, plastic\nbags to cover their shoes, space blankets, picnic blankets, and in some cases,\nsleeping bags. I’m amazed by all the inventions and creativity that runners in\nthe village came up with to stay warm or dry, no matter how fruitless the\nendeavor eventually proved to be. I’m amazed even more so by how adaptable our\nminds, spirits and bodies are. We ask our bodies to endure 26.2 miles, and after\nmonths of training, they are willing and able. Huddling in the Athlete’s Village\ntent with thousands of other shivering, wet and cold runners who all *chose* to\ndo so, I was amazed by how upbeat most of the runners were. We were all looking\nforward to it in an almost sadistic way. Several times I heard runners make the\nfunny and light remark: “The faster you run, the less time you have to spend out\nin the rain, so just make sure to run fast!”\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*k_qPg11YTMcps4jV.jpg)\n\nI had planned and practiced a certain nutrition strategy for years, then decided\nto make a last-minute change based on feel/instinct/guesswork. Maybe most people\ndon’t do that, but I rolled the dice this time because I happened to do a bunch\nof reading the week before about optimal calorie intake for runners of different\nabilities and speeds. I had pretty much always had oatmeal before races and had\nbeen practicing that for years, so I knew that was tried and true. For my\nprevious seven marathons, I had consumed a gu before (when I remembered to) and\none every 5 or 6 miles, but I went into Boston planning to change it up. That’s\npretty risky, but the last-minute calculation seemed right in my head. It was\ncold, so my body and muscles were working double-time to both keep up the pace\nas well as prevent me from freezing, so I adjusted to planning to have a gu\nevery THREE miles instead of every five. That felt like a big, big change, but\nthinking back there have definitely been races where after three or four miles\nbetween gus, my body was starting to look for calories. You don’t want to get to\nthat point. Having a gu every three miles, it felt like I was preempting that. I\nthink it paid off in a big way. I also made the decision to run the marathon in\nthe new Nike Vaporfly 4%s the week of the marathon — they felt great during two\ntest runs, so I made a decision on Thursday the week before and didn’t look\nback. Huge thanks to Andrew for letting me run in his pair of Vaporflys since\nmine hadn’t arrived yet!\n\n### Toeing the Line at Hopkinton\n\nThe beginning felt very, very surreal. “Last call for Wave 1!” I had taken my\ntime putting on my shoes, reluctantly shedding the snow gloves, but I still had\nmy sweatpants and pullover on. I started walking towards the start line. It felt\nrather anti-climatic — after all that, here I was just walking up to the start\nline at my own leisurely pace. There wasn’t a gun — I just chose when to cross\nand that’d be the start of my Boston Marathon journey. I kept my sweatpants and\npullover on for as long as I possibly could, then when I was within a few feet\nof the start line, I took a deep breath, and raised my head to look at the dark\nclouds. I could hear Tony Robbin’s voice from a recent Personal Power tape I had\nlistened to, so I cocked my head up again and forced myself to crack a smile. I\ntook another deep breath, and just like that, my toes crossed the start line,\nand my Boston Marathon had begun.\n\nMy first thought was that the winds didn’t seem so bad — living in San Francisco\nand hating treadmills, I had done plenty of running in the rain, so it was\nmainly the wind that I was worried about. I had planned to go out pretty\nconservatively, but the first mile was pretty downhill, and I started behind\nsome slower runners, so I found myself playing Frogger, trying to get to the\nsides to pass people while also avoiding stepping in any big puddles. I saw some\nother runners doing the same and tried to follow the paths they carved out. At\nthe end of mile 1, I felt like I had taken it super easy and spent most of my\nenergy trying to safely pass people, and yet my watch showed that 6:37 had\nelapsed for the first mile, not that far off my race-day goal pace of 6:30–6:35\nbefore finding out about the rain and wind.\n\nSo after a mile, I decided to try to hold that pace for the next few miles and\ntake stock again. By mile 2 or 3, trying to avoid puddles had become a fruitless\nexercise and I was pretty soaked through and through. For most of the rest of\nthe race, I honestly didn’t really pay too much attention to how hard it was\nraining. I definitely remember some breaks in the rain, and definitely some\nparts where it rained more or less, but for the most part, it kind of all\nblurred together. I remember the sudden gusts of headwind for sure, but I think\nthe winds mostly calmed down or were tempered both literally and figuratively by\nthe amazing crowds who still made it out to cheer runners on, as well as other\nrunners. I tried my best to never be completely exposed as a single runner,\nalways speeding up a bit to latch onto a pack or at least behind and around\nother runners. Mostly, I just tried to smile as much as I could and take\neverything in.\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*oNUIeyb58t3UItGD.jpg)\n\n### Managing the Middle Miles\n\nAround mile 11, my first minor crisis happened: I really needed to pee. A few\nthoughts went through my head: since it was already raining and I was already\nsoaked, if I just peed my shorts, nobody would notice, and it’d all get washed\naway anyway, right? But I definitely had never trained for peeing without\nbreaking stride. The next thought I had was whether I could just hold it for\nanother 15 miles. That was at least another hour forty, so that probably was a\nno go. More than the time lost to making a bathroom stop, I was definitely\nafraid of stopping and just having my muscles seize up or just not being able to\nget back on rhythm. Right after we passed the 12-mile marker, I saw four\nporta-potties. Unfortunately all of them were occupied, and I didn’t want to\nwait in case all four runners ended up being in there a while. But right as I\nwas running past the second porta-potty, I saw the handle flip from red to\ngreen, the door fly open, and a runner pop out, so I jumped in, managed to take\noff my gloves with barely functioning hands, use the restroom, and then pop back\nout 40–45 seconds later. I recognized some runners that I had passed earlier in\nthe race, and feeling much lighter, took off to try to make up for lost time. In\nmy head, part of me was saying that I could run a 6:00 mile to make up for the\nbathroom break and still come out around a 6:40 for the twelfth mile, but after\nspeeding up for just a little bit, a wiser voice prevailed, and I slowed back\ndown to my previous pace, clocking the twelfth mile in at 7:20 including the\nbathroom break.\n\nAround this time, I started feeling a dull, but very constant pain on the top of\nin my right foot that I hadn’t really experienced before. I reasoned that it was\nprobably a combination of the new shoes (I had only run about 12 miles on the\nVaporflys) and also tying them tighter than usual because I really didn’t want\nto have to deal with my shoelaces coming undone and either tripping in the rain\nor having to stop to re-tie them. I thought many times about stopping to re-tie\nthem, but between my hands barely functioning enough to take my gloves off to\nopen my gus and put them back on, and the likelihood that even if I re-tied\nthem, the pain wouldn’t go away, I decided to just keep running and try not to\nthink about it. The probability that it would lead to a serious injury seemed\nrelatively low, and I figured the freezing rain would probably numb the pain\nanyway. I stopped thinking about the foot for the most part, and it didn’t\nreally bother me the rest of the way.\n\nAt the halfway point, I saw my split was terribly off my pace: 1:29, on pace for\na 2:58, about six minutes behind my original goal of 2:52. I took solace in the\nfact that I hopefully wouldn’t have to make a bathroom stop in the second half,\nand that despite the conditions, I still had a good shot of PR-ing — that is,\nbreaking my previous personal best of 2:57:46. It was a mixed bag of both\nencouraging and discouraging, kind of like a compliment-shit sandwich. I thought\nback to some of the lessons that Tony Robbins talked about — managing your state\nand creating state changes. On one hand, I was behind my goal, soaking wet and\nfreezing, with 13 miles to go and Boston nowhere in sight. On the other hand,\nhere I was with the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon, halfway to running\nsub-three at one of the Marathon majors. I had trained for years to get to this\npoint, I wasn’t going to get any wetter than I already was, so I might as well\nenjoy it. Several times throughout the remainder of the race, I actually tried\nthe Tony Robbins exercises where I looked up and forced myself to smile, and\nthis may have been the endorphins, or the cold cutting off oxygen to my brain,\nbut I *actually *felt* happier*.\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*H3YeoysDlfuEibfn.jpg)\n\n### Sorry Heartbreak Hill, but I left my heart in San Francisco\n\nI remember reading that the Wellesley cheer tunnel was somewhere around the\nhalfway point, so I knew to look forward to it, and also to not speed up too\nmuch from the energy. Their energy was indeed amazing, but I made sure to stay\nwithin my pace zone. Some of the towns in between Wellesley and Boston also\nbrought amazing energy, but everything blurred together so much that I can’t\nremember anything super specifically. When I got to mile 16, I knew the first of\nfour hills concluding with the infamous Heartbreak Hill were coming up. On the\nthird hill, I felt a tap on the shoulder — I turned around and saw my friend\nCesar. We gave each other some words of encouragement: “These hills aren’t that\nbad!”. I told him “We got this!” and took off to take on Heartbreak Hill. Seeing\na familiar face and knowing the last big hill was just ahead gave me an extra\nboost of energy and motivation.\n\nOnce I reached the top of Heartbreak Hill and saw the sign “You are now leaving\nHeartbreak Hill”, another jolt of energy shot through me. This was it — I had\nconquered Heartbreak. Sorry Heartbreak, but I left my heart in San Francisco.\nRunning all those hills in SF had prepared me well. I knew it was mostly\ndownhill from here — usually when you hear that expression, it’s a negative, but\nfor runners, there’s no more welcome sight. The cheers of the energetic crowds\nthe last few miles, along with the rush from passing runners led to some really\nfast miles from 23–25: 6:18, 6:18, 6:18. All of a sudden, I was turning left on\nBoylston. I again looked up towards the sky, cracked a big smile, and raced\ntowards the finish line.\n\nSee you in 2019, Boston!\n\n### Other great race reports I enjoyed\n\n* [Julian Davis (/u/Warm_Harbor)’s /r/running race report on\nReddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/8dos8k/my_full_boston_marathon_report/)\n* [Stefan Ljungberg’s race report on his\nblog](http://stefanljungberg.blogspot.se/2018/04/boston-marathon-race-report.html)\n* [Joy Ebertz’s race report on\nMedium](https://medium.com/@jkebertz/race-report-my-first-boston-marathon-2018-bc6872f89dd5)\n* [Matthew Futterman’s race report in the New York\nTimes](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/16/sports/boston-marathon.html)\n\n### Huge thanks to:\n\n* Andrew, Chikara, and the rest of the Excelsior running club for all the training\nand racing advice as well as the “scenic cooldowns”\n* Everyone that I’ve had the privilege of sharing miles with over the last few\nyears\n* Kevin, Kelly and Bowser for being amazing hosts for the weekend\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*z9kY7hc7KLPnI4S4oRJY9w.jpeg)\n\n![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*7xQbCHuBBcpUirDAtSMXxQ.jpeg)\n_My amazing hosts for the weekend: Kelly and Kevin, and of course, Bowser!_\n\n*****\n\n*Originally published at\n*[www.davidtran.me](https://www.davidtran.me/boston-marathon-2018-race-report-what-it-was-like-to-run-the-boston-marathon-in-38-degree-rain-and-25-mph-winds/)*.*",
