Tinman, what a reasoned response.
Too bad most people here don't have the maturity to comprehend it.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Not true; Sell ran 4.28/10.06 in HS, Ritz ran 8.41/13.44. One is a blue chip, the other a lunch pail, blue collar type. Both are great athletes trying to pull the most out of the talent God gave them. Different paths, same target goal
doesn't a webb have a faster debut at the 10,000m as well?

Ritz was living in the land of fantasy if he thought that he was in 206 -207 shape.
He had done nothing to indicate that he was in 206 shape - when was the last time that Ritz raced? If he hasn't put it on the line in a race, then as was pointed out earlier, he was living in fantasy land.
Contrast this with Hall - Hall ran < 60 for the half, then rolled a 2:06
Someone is filling his head full of crap.
2:10:00 is a great time, but ... he needs to put things in perspective and tell the guy that the road keeps getting steeper at the top.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
