"Made for 4:50 pace" is simply a line, that was proven to be false at NYC.
Someone tell me what Ritz's event is ...
Ritz got blown out at the 2006 US CC Championships, was owned by a miler in the 10K, Ramala toyed with him at Great North then pushed in for the win - followed by Ritz getting hammared by an Ethio guy, he was blown up by NYC, again he was blown out at the 2007 CC Championships - by a couple of old guys, skips the big dance - which I though was "his event" in favor of an 8km road race, to which he is unable to make it to the start line.
The weather in Boulder has been perfect since the week before the CC Championships - weather is no longer an excuse.
