Finishing in 2:25:11, Pipping's time was slower than the one that earned her first place last year. Meanwhile, she beat out ail but thirty-nine men in the field and finished considerably faster than any of the times posted in 1896, the event's inaugural year. Only relatively recently have the Boston Marathon and sporting events like it around the country opened their doors to female participants. Given a chance to compete, women like Pipping have...
