Unless gravity actually pulls you backwards he had to slip on the the logo, not the mat.

She went fo it and it failed, so what. Why call someone a moron because they have the guts to try to do something special.
Do you have any idea how senseless you sound. Do you think Ritz, who's run 13:17, 27:35, 61:25 (coming in third in GNR) is thinking, "Oh Ed, didn't run well, maybe it's the training, maybe it's the coach"? One hardly knows where to begin with such inanity, but let's begin and end here: to succeed at the level Ritz has requires invincible trust in himself, something that could not possibly be shaken by how any other runner, especially one who is not even close to the same league, does.

Wonder what Ritz is thinking, seeing as Torres ran a nice 13.1 himself and is under the same training program.
not even really inclined to post but jeez--race director dude all nonchalant about the winner slipping at the finish. passing the buck and playing it off like he fell from fatigue! look at the footage and its obvious cheruyiot had crazy strength...if anything the force of a big mans stride on the face of slippery late capitalism was what pulled him down.
i was psyched to run chicago until that interview...what a chafe
Moulton? Anyone know his time?
No, that was for the moron continually calling her "Zita". Comprende?
Nope, I'm under a pretty hectic schedule at uni at the moment.
Raced yesterday over the 7.5 mile XC course at wimbledon common (plus 50 metres detour), clocked 41:20 for second Oxford and third overall just behind Dave Symons from TH&H, unfortunately he knew exactly where to push from, and scrambled through the mud better than I did.
I'll be doing last stevenage 5k in December, starting my peaking program from tommorow I think, try and get myself running as fast there as I did last year.
Keep going, you doing marathon again next year or focusing on shorter stuff to give your body a break?

He did the right thing. His job is to provide postive PR for the race. He would not have been a good race director if he stood up there and said "well it sucked that he slipped on the logo. Guess that was kind of dangerous. We really f&ed that one up, but otherwise things went pretty well."
If you were there post the top ten finishers please.
The chicago website is a joke.
Abdi ran 2:08 with a full spring/summer track season. AS well as a half marathon and more.
Seems like Sell just tries to cherry pick 2-3 races a year and goes for the times. Shows how good Abdi really is.
ya cuz its so easy to "cherry pick" a 2:10. shut the f*** up.
Ya, I'm trying to find some of the New England guys...can anybody shed some light...
may as well have another shot at London - it's actually easier to train for a marathon if you're busy - less quality and just log the miles... even if it's just run to work, run home etc
When are you stepping up, this year?
Yup, it was obvious that the guy was starting to slow and that's why his feet slipped forward on a slick wet poster. That's basic safety, they're supposed to be seasoned pros putting on this event so they should've checked that out before runners started crossing it. Why not just line the final quarter mile with crisco?

Jenkins and Moulton looked great earlier at about 10 miles, but I haven't heard anything about them in a long time. Have you heard anything recently?

looks like alot of inspired americans have been out there training for the last several months/years
anyone else notice the constant stream of guys finishing in the 220s 230s as they were showing the elite women coming in?
it looks as if a lot of that american depth that those old fogeys bitch about is returning

What's your point? No one complains about you cherry picking your one big Turkey Trot every year do they?
Once again, active.com has totally failed. Whether it's a big-time event like Ironman Wisconsin registration where no one could access the pages, or race results online like today, they have (once again) showed their total incompetence.

If someone under your identical training program and capable of a nice marathon, bonks BADLY, then it's not senseless to raise an eyebrow and wonder if you'll have the strength. Maybe Ritz isn't thinking it and has 100% trust in Hudson. Maybe the training that didn't work for Ed will work for Ritz. But the thought's hardly senseless. If successful/bad training doesn't transfer from 1 person to the other, than why all the workout posts and Lydiard genius??
Can anyone give deeper results?
