James Carney Is More Interesting
James Carney desperately needs to proofread and run spell check on his blog. I count 10 spelling errors and more grammatical errors than I have time for on his most recent post on the Bolder Boulder 10k. He graduated from college so I assume he just doesn't give a shit, and that's cool with me. It gives them a special flavor anyway and only lends to making them more interesting than Hall and Ritz's latest.
I'm not perfect either James(pretty close though..).....

Dathan Ritzenhein Blogs On Nutrition
Like Hall, Ritz put up a new post over on his blog and it's almost as uninformative.
He had asked for suggestions on what to blog about, and out of 37 suggestions, 4 were asking to hear about nutrition. So he went with that. Which he also blogged about in Nov. and is fairly similar.
There are very few details on what he actually eats other than Powerbar products(who he coincidentally recently became sponsored by), which is what might have made the thing somewhat interesting. Rather than that he simply telling us he eats "healthy meals" with vegetables and fruits, and stays away from processed foods.
Hm. Ok.
One thing a lot runners DO wonder about is elite's fueling during a marathon, which he does touch on, confusingly.
"Now I probably take in more fuel than most elites. In professional marathoning they have bottle stations at each 5k in addition to the general gatorade, water, and Powergel stations. In each station I try to take in 6 oz of a mixture of Powerbar Endurance Formula and Powergels. I will dissolve the gel right in water to get a little high carbohydrate content and some caffeine as well. It is something I have had to work up to in training and I think I have found the highest amount of calories, probably around 1000, that my stomach will handle."I had to look up what Powerbar Endurance Formula is since I didn't know if it was a drink or a powder; and it's a flavored powder that you mix with water. So, he then mixes a gel into 6oz of that.
That sounds like it would make me vomit and I will def. not be trying that.
Ritz is a great guy, but he really seems kind of boring, but that is mostly due to him being 100% devoted to being the best athlete he can be. I wonder if he's ever been drunk and got into a fight? I'm going to suggest that he blog about that next.

Arata Fujiwara Wins Ottawa Marathon. Sets CR.
Japan's Arata Fujiwara took 62 seconds off the course record in Ottawa, running 2:09:33. A great time for a tough course.
I'm sorry, but it's just nice to see a non-Kenyan/Ethiopian win a marathon once in a while. Even if it's not a major. Get this guy in NYC for the fall.
He took home $15,000 + $5000 for sub 2:10 time bonus.
Sake!!!

Ryan Hall Blogs About Summer Running.
It's just a little commercial for all of his sponsors, but hey, the guys got a
You can read it HERE even though there is nothing useful in it.
I can sum it up real quick: stay hydrated, shade your eyes, and wear light clothing this summer and have fun running.
Thanks Ryan!!

Bolder Boulder 10k
Team Ethiopia barely broke a sweat taking the men's title. And pretty much the same for the women's.
Here's the cash breakdown and I guess team Colorado of Brent Vaughn, James Carney, and Aaron Braun received $27,500 for second place, which split three ways is $9166 apiece; plus their individual winnings. So, drinks on those guys if you see them around Boulder this week.
And I guess Jorge Torres is alive and well, making his first appearance of the year. Nice to see.

Munich '72
There are two incredible mustaches in this picture from the start of the marathon in Munich '72. But only one could claim gold, because, well that's just the way it works, and that gold went to the slightly classier mustache of Mr. Frank Shorter.

Bekele Bummer
Kenenisa Bekele's manager says he ruptured his calf and needs 4-6 rest. Earliest we could see him race is August, which is great news for every other 5k-10k runner in the world.
He had to travel to Germany and Netherlands to be find a doctor to tell him is calf muscle was torn.?
I guess they don't have doctors and x-ray machines in Ethiopia?
Other than all the poverty, lack of food, clean water, doctors, and rampant disease, Ethiopia seems like a great place to live.
