  Wow, this was a great read! And what an unexpected twist to Switzer's story.

  She didn't just finish, she finished in the top third of the field. 26.2 miles in 3:21:40 is a 7 minutes 42 seconds / mile pace. That still beats the modern-day (last 20 years) men's median time.

    Better than my current best mile time.

  Idiotic clickbait headline seeks to insinuate that there was something dishonest about her racing, when in reality her participation broke a false belief (a "lie") that women were physically unable to complete marathons.

    I think they meant raced against a lie, but they left out so many words it's ambiguous now.
