__/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK

""Before the race, I was listening to everybody yell my name," Brannen said, "and I had to go to the backstretch to do my strides because I was getting pretty emotional listening to everybody basically go nuts for me."

-- Nate Brannen, Cambridge Classic Mile, quoted by Richard O'Brien in therecord.com, June 12, http://www.therecord.com. Brannen (Reebok/ Michigan/ ambridge HS, Ont) finished half a step behind defending champion Labin Rotich. Both were timed at 4:09.1 on the crushed clay brick track, installed to produce the type of surface Roger Bannister and his fellow competitors were racing on in the 1950's.

-- Moving Comfort Press Release

__/ RITZ TO DEBUT AT ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHON - Dathan Ritzenhein, age 23, will make his marathon debut at the ING New York City Marathon on November 5. "I want to debut in the marathon now because it is the right choice for my career," said Ritzenhein, of Boulder, Colorado, at a news conference in Denver on June 1. "My main goal on November 5 will be to get in the heat of the race and see how well I can hang with the best runners in the world. The other runners will have the experience that I don't have, but I want to see how I compare against them. If I train smart and race tough, I think I can be up there." Ritzenhein, the first professional athlete announced for the marathon, was presented with a ceremonial marathon bib by NYRR president and CEO and marathon race director Mary Wittenberg. "Dathan's decision to run in New York sets up one of the most anticipated marathon debuts by an American ever," said Wittenberg. "We salute him for taking such a bold step at this point in his career, and we're confident we'll see a spectacular showing from him." Last November, Ritzenhein saw the ING New York City Marathon up close, accompanying Wittenberg in the lead vehicle. And he had been thinking about his marathon debut well before that, having discussed it with his coach, the Boulder Performance Training Group's Brad Hudson, as early as 2004. He says that laboratory testing indicates the marathon will be his strongest event. "The ING New York City Marathon is the place to do something special," said Ritzenhein. "If I do as well as I think I can, hopefully that will contribute to the momentum that is already driving American distance running to a new level."
