Since Ritz is in the pool for 2 months, how will this affect Jorge's training. With no one to 'race' him in practice, will he be as successful as last year? Or will it prove to be a benefit? I would love to see him be able to pull out the victory in his final xc season.
Jorge is as steady as they come. i'm sure the absence of Ritz will force Jorge to run solo in many workouts...but don't forget about those trailing the two Buff leaders. Not a bad group to train with. i'm sure Jorge will be fine. evidence shown by his previous performances before Dathan arrived in Boulder. i'd still put my money on him to be in the fight with Boaz once again. Go get'em Jorge.
"be in the fight with boaz once again" come on man, he has never been in it yet.
agreed...the closest he has been to boaz has bee at the start...i hope jorge does well, as he seems to be a class act, however it will be tough up front with boaz and kimani and perhaps someone else.
The lose of Ritz will hurt Colorado but it will not
affect physically and mentally tough Jorge. The fact
that Boaz is competing and will prevent (deserving) Jorge
from the X-Country title is unfortunate for Jorge.

NOTE: I think the injury will help Ritz on making the
USA Worlds team as he will have fresher legs (not competing in three season: X-country, indoors, and outdoors).
I grew up in Jorge's hometown (prospect heights/wheeling, IL) and seen him run alone on tempo runs....just amazing...
