Running 15:10 from 30-35k is hardly fading. Isn't that still 4:55 per mile?
He had a non-trivial positive split. What more do you need to conclude that going out at 2:04 pace would result in an epic crash?

And all this doesn't just apply to Ritz. It's everyone. They'll buy an American running 3:33 for ninth in Rome, but do much better than that, and somehting fishy's going on. There's no winning over these people. They're short-sighted, negative, complete and total dicks.
Yes.
Sir, This is getting rather far from the issue of Ritzenhein's superb race, but I will not let this pass without response. Your disparagement of immigrants is odious. The last time I checked, paying taxes was not a requirement or prerequisite of establishing citizenship. I am sure neither of us knows, but it would not surprise me in the slightest if Bernard Lagat, Khalid K, Leo Manzano, Colleen De Reuck Meb Keflezghi, and Mark Plaatjes all paid a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the candidate you support for President. Perhaps not: maybe some or all of them are part of the Romney 47% he has stated he doesn't care about. I am certain that, as you fashion yourself a patriot, you are perfectly happy to count all of their results when you eagerly do your medal counts during the Olympics. Or maybe not: perhaps you apply the same standards to those American citizens born within the countries borders that you apply to immigrants, and when you see Galen Rupp win a silver medal, you pause to consider his marginal tax rate, or how many years he has been in the labor force. My first inclination was to give you the benefit of a doubt and not consider you a racist, but you are giving me reason to wonder. and by the way, if you are so proud of your opinions, feel free to affix your name to them. Thank you.
Why the heck would anyone want to be president and be completely owned by the corporate slimeballs who paid the way???
Anyhow, I'm never surprised by xenophobic racism on these here boards.

John,
Look, I know you can't see my point here but (1) try and understand it from another angle. (You can touch it if you like) Ha! As if........ (2) As if the fu$#king Government actually "sees" those hundreds of thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans picking all the fruit and vegetables, cutting all the meat, flipping all the burgers, doing all the hard ass labor that European "Immigrants" used to do as actual US Citizens???? It treats them like sh#t!!!!!! What financial contribution did KK or Lagat make to the US tax base before they conveniently became US Citizens??? (3) I say (4) three years max paying into the tax system then you earn your right to be called a "US Citizen"! If you don't like it, then get the F out!!!
Go Romney!!!!!
(1) "try to understand"
(2) sentence?
(3) sentence?
(4) You probably meant a minimum of three years.
Do you think that we should make the ability to read and write coherent English sentences a requirement to be considered an American?
