Some might argue Michael Raelert is one of the best long distance athletes in the world, sans the IM distance (and who knows what he will do when he steps up). Engine to weight ratios are often thought to be imperative in long distance racing.
What I find surprising is, that on his website, Raelert has his height as 6'2" at 163 lbs. Now yes, that is a thin guy. But that isn't "looks like you haven't eaten in two weeks" thin. Is this perhaps his "non racing" weight? Or does Michael not hold a low weight to be as important as some slowtwitchers might?
