WEBB IN 12k?

has anyone else seen pictures of the 12k? i know webb wasn't entered in the race, but he is definitely right behind ritz in several pictures, with no one within a good distance of them.

anyone else notice that?

He ran with Ritz at the front until about the 3k mark where he slowed up, was passed by Torres and dropped out. Most people thought he was in the race to rabbit Ritz. I think Nicole Teter did something similar in the women's open 6k

ehh probably just trying to get a little workout in

Ritz actually looks like a man now, doesn't he? He longer looks like Haley Joel Osmond.

yeah

Alan Webb, apparently!

I'm not sure that Webb was rabbiting. We were standing pretty close to the place where Webb dropped out. From the look on his face and his body langauage he looked mighty dissappointed.

From what I saw during the race I figured that Webb was the only one with the balls to stick with Ritz, but then paid the cost of not running a conservative race.

from reading the comments from ritz after the race it doesn't sound like webb was rabbiting...that has to be the most ridiculus idea ever.

Webb was behind Ritz the entire way until he (Webb) dropped out. Hard to be a rabbit from behind.

why do so many constantly give Webb the benefit of the doubt?

Webb also ran the 4k.

where are all these 12k pics with webb and ritz?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You clearly are new to the sport. Try to go back and read some old threads from when he was running 4:00 miles after leaving Michigan, then you'll see how forgiving of Webb people really are...

i'm so new, the world record in the mile was held by jim ryun when i started.

rabbits dont tend to fall behind and continue to get passed by people. anyway, he ran a solid 4k the day before, and apparently was running to win. webb still looks primed to have another outstanding spring and summer by all indications.

Any chance that XC Nats will be televised?

Fat chance, but just thought I'd ask . . .

(Three straight weeks of indoor coverage has me spoiled.)

Alan Webb dropped out in the third lap of the 12-K at the far end of the course. That means he ran at least 5 km.

He was still with Ritzenhein at the beginning of lap 3, just three seconds ahead of J. Torres at that moment. But when Ritz came around the lower part of the course in the 6th kilometer he was alone.

Webb didn't talk to the press after the 12-K.

damn.............look at that picture posted on this link

take a look at the quad of both ritz and webb

webb has HUGE muscular quads compared to ritz

ritz has leaner legs which is what he needs for long distance running and alan has HUGE quads

i think webb had the balls to jump in the race and try and run with the now longer distance stud in america....and if you think webb dropping out was bad you are nuts

even torres and all the other usual sit and kickers did just that sat back and ran THEIR pace.....webb had the sack to take it out with ritz and gave it what he had

if the other post is right and webb stayed with ritz through 5K i am going to say that webb will break 3:48 outdoors in the mile this year...he is going after it and SOONER rather then later it is going to pay off.......these guys are both unbelieveable....this only makes that webb vs. rits 3K even more interesting.....webb will run 3:46 for the mile someday.....right around beijing 2008
