Nice article about Ryan Hall from ESPN

Lots of interesting tidbits, here's one:

Quote:

Earlier this month, against a deep field that went out at a world-record pace on a flat course in London, Hall held his own in the first half of the race. He then miscalculated, asking the pacesetters to go faster, and fell behind, but he kept his composure, continued to run at his own tempo and latched back onto the leaders in rainy, windy conditions. He fell back slightly again after a final surge but still finished fifth in 2:06:17, the third-best showing in history by a U.S. man.

The sad thing is he probably doesn't care for Mormons.

That's funny, that's the first thing that runs through my mind whenever I hear that someone is a devout Christian. Even if he hates me, I'm still impressed with what he can do.

did you read his version of the race? It was very interesting.
