at 4:15, webb is more than 20 seconds slower than his best. he's quite
comfortable and won't be dropped. with 300 to go he's gone. i love ritz, but
this would not be his race.
As one who has seen them both race quite often, both on and off the track, I
think Ritz would have the upper hand in a two mile race. GH's argument along
the lines of a 4:15 pace being comfortable for Webb is valid but it's not the
first mile that counts. The third 880 is usually where Ritz hammers the
opposition and is also the point where Webb would run into trouble. The
final 880 is where serious pain takes hold and both have a great tolerance.
But the gap Ritz opens up on laps 5-6 would be too much for Webb to overcome.
