In the midst of 120 mile weeks done in six days, 7000ft+ of elevation gain weekly, and living and training in Park City, he just ran a 12 mile tempo at 4:46avg at 4500 feet. Expect great things in Paris!

I mean, even if he's 20th place that's actually not a horrible result by any means. he's 27 and has probably a full decade longer of world-class running

I already expect great things from him. I think he is going to do well on that difficult marathon course. Rumor is that it is going to be mental race, and I think that is in Mantz's favor. I think he will run for broke and come up big. I am excited to watch both marathons. I think our women will do well too.

I hear that the course and heat could see the winning time around 2:12. If our boys are prepped well for the elevation gain and heat, they could top 10 with a smart race. Jared Ward is probably a great mentor considering how he ran Rio.

that's not a tempo for someone of his ability. more like a time trial.

That's a solid workout, but nothing I wouldn't expect an altitude-trained 60-minute half guy to be able to do. It's basically 12 miles at goal marathon pace. 4500 feet takes a bit out of you, but it feels closer to sea level than it does to 7000.

I have been thinking this as well.
I am looking forward to seeing how Mantz does, and also Dakota Lindwurm. She seems like someone who will benefit from a mentally challenging course. Mantz runs like a machine, and this will be the biggest race of his career. So excited to see what he can do.

He won't crack top 10. COME AT ME
There is a strong possibility his naive frontrunning ambition is used against him strategically and he does fade late.

The weather will determine what type of race it will be, if it is really hot, I am not sure anyone is willing to lay their cards on the table early like Sammy did in Beijing.

If the trials are any indicator, he is able to stay away from the front and react to the right moves at the right time. The tough factor is going to be whether or not he can let someone go if they decide to break away and push the pace hard 5 miles into the race. If I were giving advice, I’d say to stay with the lead pack of medal contenders. If one or two people make a move before 16 miles, don’t react unless Kipchoge, Bekele, etc. do as well. When a move is made after 18 or 19, cover it.

He may or may not, we will see. I know that you won't even be in the race!
