Just remembered I can’t swim for shit either, so could you move me to underwater throw-jump sprints?

Yeah, same.

I was well good at sprinting in my teens, represented all sorts. From memory the 100m PB was 10.86? 200m was about 22.

Then…cigarettes! Alcohol!

Oasis fucked us all up.

I was mostly kidding, but in all seriousness most athletics facilities are hireable, BUT, they won’t usually let you mess around with some of the equipment unless you have trained people available to make sure it’s used properly/safely - high jump, javelin etc.

got to be a cyclist or aphex the climbing man right?

Was actually about that time tbh - 96-97

Are you still faster than a cannonball?

i’d fancy my chances on a 100m standing start

Think we have a winner - 10.86 is really, really quick. I ran England Schools 100m at U16 and my PB was 10.97. Reckon I’d probably do it in about 17 flat these days, though

are you clipped in, getting a push off?

clipped in, track stand

In my varied experience sprinting against bikes the human wins over 50m then the bike catches up, probably end up about even
