I am seriously digging this Nathan Ritzenheim dude. To go out and seek the best in the world - nobody does that in track. I can't even imagine, say, Tyson Gaye going out and saying "I want to race Hussein Bolt and Asafa Powel because that's how I will get better." It's like a joke.
Not even Gebb does that. Lagat seems to look for good races.
I suspect Rits' viewpoint is influenced by being so hurt for so long and figuring that now he is healthy, fast fast fast and he needs to take advantage of this time because it may not come again.
I don't remember Salasar ducking people either, so maybe he has had an influence also.
You spelled Lagat right.
