eh ??
rotich who is not even a 3rd string kenyan talent went 26'43 the next year in a race where he frightened the life out of kennster & was full of energy at the end as 26'43 pace hadn't tired him out ( lost in a sprint ) - the requested 13'25 split was too slow for him with 13'25/13'18 - he wouda been better off a 13'20, looking for a sub-26'40 seeing as he how much he had left in last coupla laps
lucas is no way in class of a peak wilson or geoffrey & if he coud go sub-26'40 in an ideal race, they woud be helluva lot faster
