Conner Mantz injured?

Bump. I noticed he was doing some swimming/biking after the race. I hope he’s ok. Dude is a beast.

The weird thing is that I believe it will be financially beneficial for Mantz to be hurt during the trials. Everyone believes he’s the best American (I don’t). He then can collect a big payday at Boston because the other Americans will be running the trials and never have to tarnish his reputation by losing at the trials.

Maybe he's just on break?

Brilliant. Take a break from training 8 weeks out.

He always has the option to return for his sophomore years at byu.

At this rate it would be a stretch for an American man to finish top 30 in the Olympics

Zach Panning literally just got 13th at Worlds so top 30 is not a stretch.

Remember that there are not that many athletes per country in the Olympics, so top 30 is easier at the Olympics than at probably Valencia, for example.

Still nothing on Strava. This would be bad if he is not healthy.

Rupp has nothing on Strava either.

I agree but Rupp was never on Strava. Mantz has been but nothing since November 28th

Mantz is back running this past week. Although it is not full mileage compared to Clayton Young his strata shows that he is back at it.

Epic comment, my good man XD XD

You sir, have won the internet today!!! 😂😂😂

Welcome back Conner. Plenty of time.

I hope it’s enough time. We are 7 weeks out. It depends how long it takes him to get back to full mileage.

Mantz was cross training since that race on Thanksgiving. Though his strava didn’t show it, he was back at 100 miles this week. He didn’t post everything on strava this week. For example, check out Clayton Young’s 6 mile tempo on December 14 where he was dropped by Conner. Mantz didn’t post that on his strava.

And you know better?
