Maybe Webb should look at the 10,000. I think he might do better there.

Not a good start for this point in the season. I'm starting to wonder if AW really wants to be out there.

There has rarely been a combination of such high expectations, occasional great results (time wise, not competition-wise), and yet so many perplexing races. Most all of us posting here really have no clue as to what is ever going on in the Webb camp, but from the outside in it has too many train-wreck moments for Webb to be taken seriously at this point. I know that most of us would wish otherwise, but reality keeps hitting us (and AW) in the face.

I agree with Kuha that Webb looked thick and over weight and sluggish...just nothing there. He's definitely not ready for a good 10,000m or anything else. I think it's not the same as manzano because he (manzano) didn't lose his confidence after Carson...but I feel like Webb's confidence has steadily waned over the last couple of years. I for one will be surprized to see him come back strong.

Manzano ran 3:55 mile last weekend in St. Louis.
