slow to half speed in 10 seconds

Inspired by Olympic sprinters, I jogged a couple of laps of the track to warm up and then ran fast (for me) for 10 seconds. Approximately 47 meters. Less than half the speed of the world's fastest folks. I'm OK with that.

We watched some of the hurdles last night. It appears that the world record for the 100-meter hurdles is about 20-25% more than for the 100-yard dash. I'm amazed that the difference isn't a lot more -- running & jumping is much more complicated than just running.
