Ritz has fallen back 15-20 meters. 4:53 mile 18

I saw that as well as RW said he was 10 meters back. I called our employee and he looked up at the screen and said, "He looks fine now. Is right there with them. They are all together."
Rojo thank you.
Dante- go away.
Ritz is gone!
Now that the leaders are slowing, anybody from the chase pack picking up ground?
Ritz falling off.
Looks like it's Hall, Meb, and Abdi's spots to lose
Looks like its gonna be Hall/Meb/Abdi for the olympic team unless something shakes out later. A good mix.
hahaha. KO

from RW:
Men passed 18 miles in 1:27:35, a 4:53. Ritz is fading, looks to be struggling, stride a little off balance. He's definitely gone. It's three guys who can enjoy it the rest of the way if they can hold it.
Don't count those chickens even if Ritz comes in 4th. Abdi trains with Fagan and has sudden form after 4+ years off the radar?
I asked a question: "Is Ritz shaky?" (I'm chris_r) and they didn't answer it. Now he's dropping off the back. B_stards.

Ritz is better off in the 10000m anyways with this 12:56 speed.
If the men end up running sub-2:07:03, will it be considered a course record for Houston even though the course is different than the usual race? Or is it just simply a race record with an *?

Oh no, the LetsRun curse strikes!

With 12:56 speed you are better off in the marathon.
Abdi and Ryan Hall just collided but are ok and both stuck out their arms to acknowledge it is ok between them.
Men on 2:07:30 pace at 30k 1:30:45.
Ritz appears to be 7 seconds back. of the lead 3. Hall, Abdi and Meb still lead with Ritz 7 back.
On women's race we're down to Desi, Goucher, Flanagan, and Hastings has caught back up. Deena has dropped back now.
Mo Trafeh out!
Anybody have a list of the current positions of everybody? The Houston site hasn't worked for quite a few miles.
