I wasn't going to say that but you said it for me. His 5k and 10k and road times/titles were light years ahead of lincolns. 10th vs 13th isn't a big difference, especially cause 2008 was much more competitive. If all Fam did was run the steeple like Lincoln then he would have run much faster. He was a two time Olympian compared to one from Lincoln.
Either way, my point isn't that he's better, which he is. It was just to say that I appreciate Fam's career and will miss seeing him steeple.
