Geoffrey Kamworor is back! He'll face RIDICULOUS field at 2021 RAK Half on February 19

Waiting for the usual suspect with the usual lie...

In the meantime, I wonder how Kamworor will do. His 58:01 was definitely worth sub 58 had he had company in the final miles. I am sure they will follow the pacers but I wonder if Kam will try to attack or just respond to moves by the others.

I liked the way Mutiso went for it around 43 or 45 minutes into the Valencia race.

I'm excited to see him race, I think he'll dip under 58, but won't win the race due to being out for so long.

I also predict 5 people under 58.

I can see this being super fast yet tactical like the World Half Champs

top bunch go through halfway just over 59min pace then Mutiso or Kamwo throws down a big move

Curious to see Obiris transition up. One hope it will be as successful as G Dibaba's

Yes, this looks awesome. I’ll be rooting for Kamworor, hoping he’s made a full recovery from getting plowed by that motorcycle, and because it seems the top two have already usurped him as odds-on favorites.

I love the way Kandie races, so I'm pulling for him. In general, hoping the aggression and exciting racing translates onto the track for the 10,000 as well.

Can we list synonyms for “ridiculous” so Gault doesn’t sound like a rube

Still hasn't appeared; maybe it's middle of the night over there. So, let me step in to fill the vacant:

After Kamworor contact me 4 years ago and I coached him to new world record I told him 57:26 was possible ! My majic system guarantees this result .Now I am well known in Kenya and the top finishers in half last year request I coach them to international success in this race.I know they will not share results with me because of problem with president of Kenya tells them can not be coached by European coach, even if Magic Wizard ! Soon in Tokyo one athlete will name me by name because national coach will allow it. I predict 23.6 seconds under world record for Kam . He told me 20 X 400 was at 56 seconds with heart rate down to 120.Now will be our secret since he won't name me as responsible for this record yet. .When they tell everybody the truth you will all know I am the Wizard !

This is going be Kandie Vs Kamworor! It's going to be crazy fast...but Kandie ultimately wins a close race! As for Jacob Kiplimo he will either drop out, get badly dropped or fail to start the race.

A transition away from “rube” would also be preferred.

hahaha I love how you paid attention to his trademark punctuation xD

Yeah, thanks. You know what would be entertaining: a contest to write like JS. Thing is, surely he'd show up himself and maybe not even win!
