the 10K run at 28:02 minutes), Bay to Breakers, Tilburg Ten Miles and Route du Vin Half Marathon. He had a similarly planned 1997, but had less success, his sole win coming in Tilburg (though he was the Falmouth Road Race runner-up). He made his second outing in the marathon in Amsterdam that November, but his run of 2:23:31 hours was even slower than his last. His performances declined in the 1998 and 1999 season and he generally placed outside the top five of his races. Despite being only 29 years old, he retired from competition.
