Is Ritz retarded?
"I came off the race well at least and had good training until the day before Christmas. I was doing a workout back in Michigan (home for the holidays) but it was the first time I had been on a 200m indoor track in probably five years. I think I did a little too much work on the tight turns because after the workout my ankle was sore. I ended up getting an MRI to make sure it was not my Achilles and luckily it was not. I basically strained it though and had to pull out of the XC race in Edinburgh this weekend."
My question is, why was he running on a 200m track in the first place? There is a brand new 300m indoor track right down the road when he is "home for the holidays." The more gradual curves could've prevented this minor ankle injury.
