Poster: Brutal Honesty
Subject: RE: Time for an Honest Assessment of Ritz's Performance
Body:
Ritz is the one who claimed to be in 206 shape - which is pure BS - there was absolutely no basis for this claim.

Ritz will continue to be disappointed and will continue to disappoint until his physical abilities and goals get in sync.

As for 2.09.59 or 2.10.00 - everyone here knows that it IS a big Whoop de doo - it is the equivalent of 3:59 or 4:00 and Ritz just ran 4:00.

You're avoiding the point. The previous poster is correct. People whined about his strategy in Beijing, and now they whine about his strategy in London. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. This is the overall Let's Run culture. Jump on the bandwagon when runner X performs according to your expectations (and thus fills some emotional need in you) but be critical when the person contradicts your expectations / hopes.

I'm just glad to see Ritz (and all the other decent runners) trying to become better runners. Good for them.
