The lead women's pack of the 2011 Boston Marathon come up to Mile 8 in Natick. Smith has a lead that she would hold until mile 19 when she pulled up with calf pain.
Note Davilla off the back of the pack. She would eventually finish in second by just 2 seconds.
A bit strange that the pack is on the left side of the road at this point. Everyone is always on the right side at this location in the race.
@silentboyfilms Agreed. I don't count Smith because it was obvious that she was way out of her element. But yeah, you never see someone who is already off the back of the pack at mile 8 come back to hunt down the entire pack later. That is quite rare!
