"I always knew Molly was going to qualify for the Olympics at some point. It was just a matter of when."

During the last weekend in February, everyone was talking about one race: the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. But there was another race that same day, in that same city: Take the Bridge, which Izzy Seidel won.\\xa0And if that last name sounds familiar \\u2014 particularly in the context of having a great race in Atlanta on February 29 \\u2014 that\'s because Izzy\'s sister is Molly Seidel, who finished second at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials that same day, solidifying her spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. On this episode, Izzy recaps that day in Atlanta from her perspective. What is it like when your sister (and roommate!) runs the Trials and lands a spot on the U.S. team? Izzy, who lives in Boston and works for Tracksmith, talks about watching the race, going on to win Take the Bridge, and then taking selfies with adoring fans \\u2014 who thought she was Molly!
