Fairly bad post.
New York is not a course to time trial. If that's what he wanted there are better races for it, even late in the fall season. Ever heard of FUKUOKA?
Kamworor has the ability to threaten Kipsang if he ever properly transitions to the marathon. For some reason he has still been trying to run fast 5000s on the track. He set his 2:06:12 PR back in 2012 (at stated age 20!), ran 2:06 again in 2013 AND 2014, and all available evidence is that he isn't falling off at all (stated age 25). Plus New York will be a great course for him.
No, I have never heard of FUKUOKA. What do those letters stand for?
