	Hendrick Ramaala - Apr '03
		Ramaala, one of the burgeoning second wave of runners from South Africa, outlegged plenty of his more harried competitors in 2002.
		Ramaala moved to Johannesburg when he was 18, just as apartheid was coming to an end in the early 90’s.
		Ramaala made his debut at the 1999 Chicago Marathon, but the chilly temperatures caused him to drop out.

		Ramaala, who returned yesterday from his stunning New York victory in 2hrs 09min 28sec, said that he is primed for "a few more" great wins in the future.
		Ramaala has a message for young runners not to over-race and that they should rather focus on building up speed by racing track before moving onto the longer distances.
		Ramaala said he will take a rest, then prepare for the Engen Series on the track where he will hone his speed this summer before building up to the longer distances next year.

		Ramaala's triumph last year on the streets of New York was his first major marathon win and the first by a South African in New York since Willie Mtolo in 1992.
		Ramaala, 33, has had a streak of impressive races in 2005, including a third place finish (2:08:32) at the Flora London Marathon in April and second place (28:52) at the Healthy Kidney 10K, an official NYRR event, in May.

		Ramaala also knows fellow South African Gert Thys is a past GSR champion and believes he can himself win the title for his homeland.

		Ramaala has been a stellar half-marathon runner, winning Lisbon several times, but has yet to put together a marathon to match his half-marathon performances, before this win.

	Ramaala a threat to Khannouchi
		The most interestingly priced runner is Hendrick Ramaala, the 28-year-old law graduate from Johannesburg.

		When Khannouchi set the world record with 2-5.42 in Chicago last October, Ramaala suffered the indignity of dropping out of his first attempt at the distance after only 15 miles because he was cold.
