Brilliant race, I just said to Mrs CP he has plenty left in the tank, and should keep going to the line instead of showboating.

Sure enough a new WR.

Well done fella.

Mrs CP made similar comments about the press blokes too.

Yenrod has got me thinking - Bolt completed his 100m in 9.58s, Hoy began his 2007 World Championsip Kilo final with 11.19s for the first 125m. Those are average speeds of 37.58km/h and 40.21km/h. Using the average speed (obviously ignoring acceleration), Hoy would have done an 8.95s.

We know it takes longer to accelerate on a bike, so could it be that over 100m a runner would win?

You mean to say there was something so important that you couldn't spare an extra 10 seconds?!!?!? :smile:

I know, it sounds ridiculous, but I suddenly realised I hadn't put the top on the sauce bottle properly. Don't you hate it when it goes all crusty round the neck?
