Behind her, Aliphine Tuliamuk and Nell Rojas run personal bests, but Bates was the only American woman in the top 10.
The switch resulted in an impressive fifth-place finish in Boston today. She crossed the line in 2:22:10—5:26 pace, a personal best by more than a minute, and just 8 seconds off Shalane Flanagan’s American course record of 2:22:02, set in 2014. She takes home $18,000 in prize money for the feat.
A 5:08 mile at mile 7, in Framingham, thinned the leaders’ ranks to about eight, with all the Americans left behind. But Bates, who said before the race she believed she was in American record shape on a flat course, remained determined not to let them escape. By mile 10, she’d worked her way back up.
“What helped me the most was the downhill, just to be able to make sure the quads could take that beating, and then be able to hit those uphills like we did,” she said. Based on her training, Bosshard knew Bates could stay near the front at least through halfway. After that, she kept expecting the effort to feel harder, but it never did. Bosshard saw her around mile 20, at the top of Heartbreak Hill. “She shrugged her shoulders, smiled, and I told her, ‘Let her legs run,’” Bosshard said. “I think she just decided, ‘Today, I’m going to stick my nose in it and I’m going to be part of this,’ and she’ll be pretty happy with that.
