A LOT of people really doubted Ritz making the top 3. Ryan Hall had an amazing run and showed that his Houston half and London marathon were just the start of something great. But it seems that Ritz isn't getting any love. Sell making it was the best news of the day! Though I believe he really had to suffer to achieve it whereas Hall and Ritz both looked VERY relaxed.
Anyone think that Ritz didn't go with Hall in fear of dying like in his first marathon? He openly said he would not go for the win if he thought it would jeporadize him placing in the top 3.
I know it's a long shot, but hey, if Ritz and Hall can work a plan out, they could both end up on the medal stand next summer!!!!
GO USA!
