Ryan's big advantage in this fight is the amount of energy he'll excert. Cal has no demigod powers to use against Ryan, meaning he will have to get within range to use his short sword. While Cal may be fast Ryan's arrows are faster and he can easily keep Cal at bay until Cal runs out of energy. If Cal can dodge all of Ryan's arrows Ryan still has his Blessed Guitar which can cause Cal all kinds of trouble.
