Molly PritzSex: Female. Birthdate: 04/07/1988 (24 years old)
Country: United States
Location: Rochester Hills, MI
In late 2011, 23-year-old Molly Pritz found herself with $20 in her bank account and without a job, sponsors, or coach. She had just left the Hansons-Brooks Running Project (a prestigious American running team), and she didn’t know where she was going or what she was going to do. But she was in love. So she did the only thing she knew how: She kept running. Having been kicked off the Hansons-Brooks training team for beginning a relationship with another member (a team taboo), Molly was encouraged by the local New York Road Runners (NYRR) group to enter the New York City marathon, one of the most prestigious and well-covered marathons in the world. If she did well, it would improve her chances of getting a job as a runner. If she didn’t? Well, she had nothing to lose. So a scant eight weeks before her NYC marathon debut, Molly, coach-less and sponsor-less, began training on her own. She did more than well. On November 6, 2011, Molly was the fastest American woman to complete the NYC marathon, clocking 2:31:52 and finishing 12th overall. I was inclined to look up the big shot names she beat, but I know Molly better: She would have frowned on it. In fact, when I asked her about competition, she told me confidently, “You can’t help who shows up to the race. I don’t want to be disappointed if I don’t get first, but I get my personal best. So I try to construct my goals around something I can control. You don’t want to be constantly improving yourself around everyone else, especially when you are training every day. In running, there’s not one direct winner or loser when you focus on a personal goal.”
