After his New York Marathon DNF it's reported that Haile G. has retired; however, I think the difficult course and huge self-disappointment is affecting him right now.
Less than a week ago Haile was saying:
"I have much more I want to do"
"I think I can improve on my marathon WR"
"I still feel like I'm 20"
"You get stronger at 37, 38, 39"
So no way do I think he is retired as his emotions has the best of him after such a disappointment! If he can get fully healthy Haile could still train and get on the track and run a sub 27 minute and on a flat marathon course at least 2:05:15- so I definitely think we will see him compete in a major marathon and possible another track race!
Anyone else believe we will see Haile competing again?
