Webb looked fine everybody. He's just a few months behind because he missed the entire winter season due to injury. If he was running a 4 minute mile indoors we'd say he's doing fine, right on track to put up some decent times for the spring season.
Instead, he's in 4 minute mile shape now for the spring season, so he'll be ready to put up some decent times in the summer season. I'm not going to say "WEBB will break 13!!!!" but I'd say Webb will probably be able to get down to a 13:20 by the end of the summer season.
Then hopefully he'll do USA XC with the Schumacher group next fall, do indoor nationals and then be on track to qualify for the IAAF continental cup next summer.
Then, assuming he's injury free for all of this, he'll have a decent shot at worlds in 2015.
As long as he's injury free I don't think there's any need to talk about triathlon or retirement. If he gets another injury like his achilles injury in 2009, then maybe retire because he could turn into Adam Goucher with all his injuries, but assuming he doesn't get hurt like that again then I think he's doing fine.
I guess you´re talking about spring 2014, because spring has already passed this year.
