Amy Dodson, a transtibial amputee from Baxter, Tennessee, set a world amputee record for fastest marathon time October 5. Dodson achieved a time of 3:54:24 at the St. George Marathon in St. George, Utah, beating the previous record by over 24 minutes.
The elevation of over 6,000 feet didn't slow down Dodson, who has only one lung. "This is the most gorgeous race I have ever runabsolutely breathtaking," said Dodson.
