Desi 2k15?
THIS
Maybe Shalane lost more training during that injury back over the winter than she let on?
Go Ritz! Shalane is probably done. Wow, she was conservative. What happened? Nowhere in the picture. Can she reel in the pack?
Oh I know that, but a lot of viewers may not, they definitely put it up as a 20k-25k split
RITZ 3:16
Ritz running the tangents on these curvy roads. Shortest route is the fastest route. Crazy that more elites don't think about this. Don't run down the middle of the road. Run the shortest point to point diagonally from curve to curve.
Ritz treating these hills like Balboa Park
Ritz looks so strong. Has he finally figured out the marathon?
Yikes,
I just checked a local weather station and headwinds are sustained at (E) 10mph and a recorded gust of 20!
Either Ritz makes a big move or somebody else does. . What I want to know is, what does Ritz do when somebody else makes a big move. I sense that he's waiting for that to happen. He's got it today.
wtf is ritz doing
draft, son!
Men’s Splits
Mile 1: 4:39
Mile 2: 4:48 (9:27)
Mile 3: 4:44 (14:11)
5K: 14:44
Mile 4:42 (18:55) … Tadese Tola pulling away from the rest of the pack
Mile 5: 4:53 (23:48) … Tola and Tsegay leading just ahead of the group. Meb and Arciniaga in there with Ritz at the very back of the pack.
Mile 6: 4:51 (28:39) … Desisa/Tsegay leading … pack getting spread out
10K: 29:42
Mile 7: 5:05 (33:45) … Slowed down and everyone is bunched up again and Teg caught back up. Teg, Ritz, Meb, Arciniaga all in there with a pack of about 15ish (just eye balling).
Mile 8: 5:03 (38:44)
Mile 9: 4:44 (43:28) … Desisa out pushing now, Chebet in 2nd, Korir, Tsegay, Meb only American still with the lead pack. … Desisa is now putting a bit of a gap on the pack.
15K: 44:57
Mile 10: 4:42 (48:10)… Desisa still out front pushing, Tola leading chase pack which has Tsegay, Chebet, Meb
Mile 11: 4:45 (52:56)… Tola has caught up to Desisa and they are running together with a gap to the rest of the pack … Chebet working to catch those two
Mile 12: 5:16 (58:10) … Desisa still leading, but everyone has caught up and running together as a pack again, Meb right in the thick of it. … 11 men in lead pack, Tola leading with Desisa drafting off him.
20K: 1:00:27
Mile 13: 5:12 (1:03:27) … Tsegay was pushing the pace out front, but Ritz caught back up to the back of pack. So 12 in lead pack now. Ritz leading now.
Half: 1:04:00 … Zersenay Tadese still in it. Has he ever made it this far with the leaders in a marathon? I'm only sort of joking.
Mile 14: 4:57 (1:08:23)… Ritz is breaking this open with Tsegay the only guy going with him. … We heard from a friend of Ritz yesterday that he was going to "run his own race" and looks like that's what he's doing. Didn't go with the pack when they sped up and went by them when they slowed down.
Mile 15: 5:00 (1:13:24) … Ritz still leading, but the pack has caught up.
25K: 1:16:04
Mile 16: … 4:42 (1:18:06) Ritz still pushing at the front. Looking good.
Mile 17: … Ritz broke open a small gap on the field, but they reeled him back in. Worth noting that Ritz cut the tangents taking regular gatorade/water while the rest of the pack went a bit wider to get their own bottles.

Hope the Brojos query him as to why he wasn't dressed like Elvis.
Wait until the race is over before making that declaration.

The just said here in the press room that it is raining everywhere on the course but the finish line
Ritz looks amazing. Mb looks like he's hurting. Ritz is running the tangents and these Africans seem to be failing basic geometry.
I had dinner last night with CHris Lear, Ed Torres, Tim Broe and a friend of Ritz's and he said Ritz wasn't going to go for broke early. His plan was to run his own race and try to run the guys down in the Hills.
Top 5 here we come!!
