Running London will pay dividends for Hall. He's already run against the world's best. I'll be very disappointed and shocked, if he's not within steps of the lead entering the last few miles. I think Ritz really needs to continue with his training the next few months....but will he be 10K training instead? IMO, everything Hall is doing now, Ritz is just as capable of. But Hall's been in the mountains running with a great 26.2 group.
You always run your mouth and make retarded predictions. I didn't even read what you posted but for the sake of the board stop.

Find a post of mine worse than this.

Nobody cares about your opinion, which is a good thing.
I am merely stating what 95% of the board thinks of your posting. Face the facts. It is the truth.
Is Hall going to run the trials 10K, even though he won't run it in Beijing?
Aw, lay off the ttc, will ya? It IS a valid question: Will Hall run the 10 at the track trials? I would guess not, but then, I'm a moron...
Ritz ran an awesome race today (if nothing else rather unnoticed by the press). I hope Ritz runs the 10K, the boy can't seem to handle the heat. How the heck will he do the marathon in August in China? I had the pleasure of seeing him with his eyes rolled back in his head at nationals this year, a very scary sight. I hope he learns a lot this year because he obviously has the talent! I have heard about him year after year, only to be eclipsed by someone else. Right now he is number two on a very promising team. I can't wait to learn more. Show us what you've got! I believe the formula is the same, 10K guy takes maarthon.
Ritz is better off saving himself by running the 10000 and then going for a killer marathon in the fall when it really matters most.
Hall will be lucky to get in the top 10 at Beijeng.
the top 3 will probably be Tergat, Limo, and Cherioyot.
in that order.

I would not bet very heavily that any of this trio is in the top 3, partially because there are so many guys, but I think Tergat is getting over the hill and you need to be at the top to survive at the Olympics. The Kenyans have not had a great track record at the Games.
If those are your top three, where do you think Geb will finish?

Agreed, those three can't even be sure of a place in the race, let alone the top 3 spots, it's not like Kenya is an easy country to get bids in, I mean, Martin Lel just won and NYC, and London which was supposed to be one of the best fields ever. Two other Kenyans just ran under 2:07 in Amsterdam. I wouldn't be at all surprised if only one of those three made the team, which I think is part of why Kenya isn't as successful in the Olympic marathon as they are in the major marathons. In the major marathons there might be 10 Kenyans who can run under 2:09, while only 3 make the Olympic team. At a major, 6 Kenyans can have an off day and one still win, while if that happens at the Games, they're out of it.
