Bolt Ostrava 300m

[pavel]

@pierrejean

I came up with those splits (electric rounded up to the nearest tenth), looking forward to those by the organisation…
050m - 05.7
100m - 10.2 (4.5)
150m - 14.9 (4.7)
200m - 20.0 (5.1)
250m - 25.4 (5.4)
300m - 31.0 (5.6)

Obviously Bolt started out way too fast regarding to his current abilities, especially from a poor reaction time.

Michael Johnson, from the top of my head, did 10.68 at 100m and 20.11 at 200m, which means that he started too slow and lost too much energy with this flying 9.43 in the bend.
We are yet to see a sound pacing at 300m, and ultimately Bolt should be able to run slighlty under 30sec with the pace he used in Ostrava, but with higher speed reserve (like 9.5 and 19.0 current level).

M. Johnson said after his 300m world record that he had used same model as for 400m- very relax straight and hard bend and hold it in home straight. I think if MJ had run 300m in 1996 or 1999 with model for 300m, he would have run close to 30s…
