This is from the LRC men's marathon preview: "The problem with Ritz is we really have no idea if he's in shape as his coach Alberto Salazar doesn't share much with the media and Ritz isn't flying into the Trials until the night before the race."
Can this possibly be correct? The night before? Isn't this insane? What if the flight is canceled? Doesn't Ritz have to attend the technical meeting?
Perhaps it wasn't the night before. It seemingly seems to dangerous to do but we received an email a while back before Rupp had withdrawn from a source who was irate that Ritz & Rupp wouldn't be at the press conference as they were flying in the night before the race.
It's possible this person didn't know that the press conference was two days out - not one.
Let's hope Ritz's there as we just picked him to win it.
