This "semi elite" guy was the short trail runner of the year a decade ago, dude is very fast. The africans started running shorter distances years ago, they'll make their way to ultras eventually, but so far they all struggle when the courses get technical. Look at Zegama this year, the Kenyans were in the running until they hit the exposed section and then never heard from again.
Great video. You guys get a follow.
First guy semi elite guy to go after it. If there is ever any real prize money at these races, the Africans will come clean up.
