Being a marathon must bow down

Boston (18-living) – before becoming an elite athlete, Keira d’Amato to be rested to the “Boston” marathon on Monday. He was registered in 2013 to Missoula Marathon and hoped to make the time qualifiers 28, 3 hours 35 minutes.

“The only reason I wanted to drive a marathon to try to qualify Boston in 2014,” said D’Amato at a news conference this morning. “This was the year when I had just seen the bombardment, and it inspired me to fulfill my first marathon.”

D’Amato, whose maiden name was Karlstrom, was not a regular beginner. He competed in the NCAA system at the American University, where in 2005 In the 2005 NCAA Country 2005 championships, he graduated from 5,000 m in the NCAA and field championships. He still had no idea how difficult the marathon would be.

“I really didn’t train as hard as I needed, and I didn’t really do the level I was (in college),” said D’Aabator. “I went in and I just learned a huge lesson to respect the marathon. May have been like 16 to 18 miles (inward)

The 40-year-old D’Aworader, after his career in 2018, after having two children, after having two children, established a career in real estate than the “sixth” in the north. He was broken three times at 2:23.

But the marathon bowed him again. In 2024 he left his two marathons, the Olympic tests in February and Chicago in October. His Chicago’s experience was especially painful. He moved with his family to Utah, to train Brigham Young University coach page EYESTON and was very well prepared. He thought he was in shape to challenge his personal best.

“Building for Chicago, it was one of my best buildings,” D’Abat explained. “The run was there, there was a force there, I saw the time I had never seen in training.

The marathons must balance trust and humility to be successful, especially in Boston, where the fields are strong, the course is a hill.

“I am trying to tell every beginner that the event always wins,” said Kevin Hanson, who, his brother’s coach athletes, the original Distance of Hanson-Brooks of Michigan. “Marathon always wins. Even people who have debuts that are excellent and think it’s clear … they are always still learning. “

Connes Mantz, who won 2024 of the US Olympic field and finished the eighth in the Paris Olympic marathon, he did not see trust and humility as a conflict. In fact, they are both sides of the same coin.

“I do not think there is any other distance that requires very humility,” Manan said about the results of the weekly race. “You can blow up in the marathon and run so badly, to what extent does your training go?

The second crack of Manan will be in Boston on Monday. The 11th place is over in the 2023 race of race, 2: 10: 25 after a disappointing speech, when he was celebrated six months ago in Chicago.

“The last Boston marathon I ran, the last two miles I was like, I can’t believe I ran slowly,” he said. How I didn’t even know how slow I was running. My last two miles were like six-sized pace. My first marathon went so good that I couldn’t believe my second is going so badly. “

Twice Olympic Kara Gucer had such an attempt. In his 2008 Marathon Marathon in Debaton’s Marathon, he ran the fastest first debut from an American woman, which ended in the third place, 2:25:53. But in 2014, he had a crushing experience of the Spirit in the same race. He runs more slowly than the first half, he finished 13 – 2. 37:03: After that, he will work only one elite marathon.

“I didn’t hit the wall before,” Gucer said. “I have heard that people talk about it and I was like that, you were clearly not training the last eight miles of that race. And he goes. “I looked at you right and told you to hang out.” I don’t remember any of that. “

For d’Amato, who runs his first Boston marathon, he moves in the race on Monday, feeling small. He is grateful to be healthy again, and with a humble heart, just wants to feel good on the course and see what he can do.

“Monday for Boston, I really feel thankful and thank you really,” said D’Abato. “It’s a gift that I’m healthy and I hope I hope I can smash it on Monday.” He continued.
