Beatie Deutsch, an Orthodox Jewish runner from Israel, came in first place on Sunday in the Life Time Miami Half Marathon women’s division.
Deutsch’s race time was 1:16:50. This was her first time racing in the US.
“Hi! It’s your wife. I won!’’ the mother-of-five, 30, told her husband, Michael, in a phone call moments after finishing the race. “It wasn’t a great [finish] time, but it was hard — windy.”
She later wrote on Facebook, “Thank you Hashem for giving me the opportunity to stand on the podium today at the @themiamimarathon and proudly represent Israel and the Jewish people.”
Deutsch — a New Jersey native who moved to Israel in 2008 — was running to raise money for Beit Daniella, a charity for children with mental illnesses.
