Most of the Kenyans have ran bare footed before while they grew up on rough terrain so may be it helps a little bit. I am Kenyan and i started wearing shoes actively in high school. It is not that i did not own shoes but it was out of choice.
That was the final race, after that he definately has enough time to recover, and to add on to that very many kids in kenya play on asphalt/tarmac in blazing temperetures of 30 degrees, without shoes, the whole day and still wake up to run to school the next day........
Running barefoot on the track is very rough on your feet, especially if you're sprinting, the harder you kick off the more likely the track will rip your feet apart
if the other shoe came out he would have been going african speed!

Wilson Kipketer did the same thing in the Golden League in 99. He lost his shoe at 150m and still blew them away with 650 to go.
