He won the Dam tot Damloop held between Amsterdam and Zaandam twice and finished in second position between those two wins. His time (45:27) during his second win was the world's fastest time in a 10 mile race that year, out-sprinting the world half marathon champion Fabiano Joseph Naasi.[1] The race was his first after a long period of injuries and he only started training in July 2006 again.[1] In 2006 he also managed to win the Delhi Half Marathon in a new course record.[2]
He competed at the 2006 IAAF World Road Running Championships in Udine, Italy, finishing 45th. That year he won the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race, winning US$50,000 and breaking the course record by five minutes in the process.[3]
