He texted me earlier and said he was hoping to break 52 mins.

I changed my mind and am now on your side OP. I do believe that he will run 47:30 or faster, IF it's not too hot. Apparently he is in better shape than the others think. In less than 24 hours, we'll see.

He's been sick plus it could be hot so I think closer to 50:00.

Sorry, I still say you and the guy who claims to be riding in the lead vehicle are wrong. He'll break 47:30...and my name is not Jose':):):)

Maybe it is and your parents just never got around to telling you. How would you know? Huh? Huh?

Jose - How. Would. You. Know. ?.

Ironically, Greg did that before the 1982 Chicago Marathon, winning in 2:10:59. He ran the Crim that August in 47:57 for 3rd place. He also ran the Crim in 1980 before setting the course record at the Detroit Free Press Marathon that fall (

Hey, dipshit. You clearly don\'t know the meaning of \'ironically\'

If your only contribution to threads is come on and correct grammar, you really look like the dipshit. Have you ever once typed the wrong word, or made an error? Of course you have, so who was there to call you a dipshit?

"Sorry, but I really don't think Dathan is worried about getting a car??? Yes, you are correct that he'll get one being the first Michigan finisher, but I know that he is pretty comfortable in life and a car is not a do or die thing for him."

Why wouldn't Ritz attempt to get a car for a year?????

He could put 20,000 miles on a car easy in rural Western Michigan; and that would save putting 20,000 miles on his own car.

You are making no sense, woman.

I ran this race almost 30 years ago and it is definitely my favorite 10 miler.

I solid 48:20 for Ritz

Any results from the Crim Mile races yet?

Do you have any sense of what he makes per year? Do you know how many vehicles he owns? Of course he'd take the car, but that's not why he's running it, for a year lease on a car, duh! You lost the point of the post, dumb a**!

You guys he posted on my google+ and said he's aiming for 65 minutes because his testicles are swollen to the size of papayas

I know that's a lie because I skyped with him this evening and his testicles were both their normal size.

I messaged him on Grindr and he said he's doing a mini taper to win the car. So sub 50

Ritz ran over 49 minutes and didn't get the car, he was beat by another person from Michigan. He was interviewed and highly pissed off because he said, "He could put 20,000 miles on a car easy in rural Western Michigan; and that would save putting 20,000 miles on his own car." messi poster, you're an idiot and the OP was right, you didnt' get the point.

No, if he was capable of running 47:30 right now that does not mean that he would be entered in a Fall Marathon, it means that he "might" be.

No, he WOULD be.

Ritz has never missed a payday, even when out of shape, and US race directors will give him one every time. As they should.

He could run 55 at Crim and New York would put him in the elite field.

Wrong dumbshit. He's missed MANY races due to various reasons and missed a paycheck in the process. You are certified stupid.

He's pleased with how he did:

‏@djritzenhein

Great to be back racing at @CrimFit! I'll take 49:12 on no real training. A lot of fitness to gain but happy to be healthy and training.

Yeah, I'm sure he really got a HUGE payday from running the Bobby Crim 10 miler for SPECIAL OLYMPICS! I"ve been on this site for at least 5 years on and off. I gotta tell ya rupp-certified saladbar, every year you post dumber and dumber comments. Your analogy is wrong, completely, even when compared to marathon paydays. You think he got some big payday for running the Crim? Moron.Question: Do you actually run? If so, you must suck!

The car would have been "icing on the cake".

A. He needed a good tempo workout.

B. Being a native Michigander, Crim was always on his bucketlist.

C. Flint, MI is but a short stroll up I295 from rural Western Michigan.

D. RITZ WANTED TO DO CRIM!!!!!!!!!!!
