Ritz and injuries seems to be a broken record that we've heard a few too many times!!! Or how about this one, he actually makes it to the start line of a race and then has to pull out early with a weird calf strain of some sort. He seems too fragile for the marathon. I wouldn't even bet on him making the start line of the trials. Has he raced recent enough to even have a qualifier??

How many of these guys are going to run the next Olympic marathon trials?

Per the man himself (he was gracious enough to talk to me briefly when I saw him at Crim last weekend), he has been running well and is currently dealing with some “typical aches and pains” but nothing that has significantly limited his training. He looked fit, but even when out of shape he can’t be much more than 125 so who the hell knows.
kudos to Ritz for being approachable and pleasant with the fans and fellow runners. That's just from the one experience I had (warming up in downtown New Haven before the 20 K) but its the random moments that give you a good sense of the person.

+3. Outside of the finish/tent area at Riverbank Ritz came up to our group of 6 midpackers and asked how we did...A true ambassador for sport!
