Shalane Flanagan on Dehydration, Delirium, and Drama at the Olympic Trials

Posted Feb 18, 2016
Shalane Flanagan placed third at the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials on Saturday in Los Angeles, after leading the race with her teammate, Amy Cragg, for 24 miles. It was then that severe dehydration almost ended her chances of making the team going to Rio Games in August. She hung on, however, and finished behind Cragg, who won, and Desiree Linden, who placed second. (Runner's World)
