Why doesn't he go back to the steeple? Seems like he was simply not built to be a marathoner.

Guess he didn't want to drop out of another race and soldiered on.
Which might be courageous and all... but isn't really smart if he still wants to try to make the Olympic team. He should have stopped when it became clear that he wasn't going to post a good time.

Yeah that's what I'd thought, he could have saved himself for the spring. But from his point of view, he DNF last year, DNF at the Sapporo half in July and didn't even get on the plane to Deagu - I guess he just wanted to finish a race. He's got four months 'til the London Marathon, maybe he's in a better place psychologically than Cragg.
