Maybe AlSal read my post and knows that anything faster than 27:35 will result in Ritz watching the trials in the stands wearing a boot?

It's really too bad Ritz is focusing on peaking when it counts rather than running marginally faster in an otherwise meaningless race to appease the 12 running fans who care about the difference between 27:15 and 27:40.
27:45 is a joke for Astandard wrote:
27:45 is a road time nowadays! Mutai ran 27:41 today in Ottawa (Canada) with little hills on the course!
Geb went under 27:40 on the road in Manchester last weekend.
Anywhere to watch this race live?

And regardless of how fast he runs, they're going give trophies to everyone (plus a free ice cream cone) afterwards.

If the race is meaningless, why run it? He can run a time trial at home.
If I were the Hengelo organizers I'd tell him to stay home. I'm sure there are a dozen Europeans who'd be happy to get in the race and give it their best shot.

RunBlogRun reports there will be two 10,000m heats, one for the Ethiopians and one for everyone else just chasing the A-standard like Ritz.

Anyone find a stream that works on a mac? All of the sopcast links are Windows only.

Because he wants the Olympic A standard and Hengelo is a perfect race in which to get it?
This is working for me:
JUST AN EXCUSE FOR GETTING AZZ RAPED BY GEB, FVUK YOU RITZ
This is working on my Mac in the US:
click on IAAF Fanny Blankers Koen Games. Then ignore all the ads in front of the video telling you that you need some plug in. Just enlarge the video and all the ads go away.
Ritz and most American elites (men anyway) just keeping proving the US to be 100% puss. It is like they are scared to run a single maximal effort within 8 months of the games. Pathetic. No surprise there will be no medals for soft American men
That's working for me, too.
