Ritz FTW
Ritz is 30 not 31. I like his chances.
Abdi is semi-active on Twitter. Recent tweets include that he's training with Stephen Sambu and coach Dave Murray at Arizona.
Wonder how fast the race will go out with lagat in it. Also his response to their pace will be interesting
Anyone think Ritz can/will break an hour for the half?
This is the longest healthy training streak he's had since 2007. He just lost at the US xc's, but that was a rust buster. If he wants to break 27 for 10k, he'll need to be in shape for a ~60 1/2 at some point, especially since he doesn't have the speed for sub 13 anymore.

Agreed. All eyes will be on Lagat until he gets dropped (IF he gets dropped).

I dont think this course is super fast so no he won't break 60

He's in Tucson right now (probably going back-and-fourth from Flagstaff for altitude) training for Boston, thought that was common knowledge...
