The hype was building all week for the crowning event–the men’s marathon. Much to everyone’s surprise, the day dawned cool and clear. It was the nicest day here yet. In line with the favorable weather conditions, the lead guys were flying at world record pace at 10k; crazy in the Olympics. Ritz was running smart, Hall was farther back and not looking like himself. I was hoping he was just being cautious early on. Sell was running steady. The stadium was energetic with inline skaters and constant entertainment. I am fine with the race alone.
