    I think that he was over peaked at the Kenyan x country championships and he knew it. it is a lie that he had "stomach problems" the fact is that he over peaked about 2 or 3 weeks ago (winning 6 out of 7 races with very strong fields) and another race where he came in 23rd (going down) but the question now is did he do this on purpose (for money) or his "handlers" or "agent" did not plan things accordingly.At that level, runners do not run every (top cross country races in Europe) in preparation for a major championship but he got a lot of money for it. He will come back in 2012 and will race his stock. What do you think?

    On the one hand I doubt he intentionally did it on purpose, that is failing miserable in his lone two cross races in Kenya. For the world champ to run two extremely poor races in his home country is embarassing.

    I know Ebuya runs with the Pace Management group team, and I am not sure literally who his day to day coach is. I think it is more a case of very poor long term planning, and not understanding how to game plan and approach the Kenya Nationals to garner a spot on the world team. Even that is a little hard to understand, because Ebuya has been running long enough now to know the system.

    Ebuya is a mystery to me, and often times very hit and miss in his races. After his great run last year at world cross, I had thought he was realistically in good shape to run after his 12:51 PR at 5K.. He had a horrible track season last year.. He is a hard one to figure out, but none the less a great talent on his best days.
