Ok so in my post before in the other thread:
9.85 basic time, wind and altitude adjusted
9.76 fastest possible legal (dont take this time too seriously)
I don’t take either of those times too seriously.
Well its a calculated basic time, and just that.
My question to anyone is, how does the wind reader actually work? Because the wind changes in those 10 seconds when the race is happening, it doesnt stay exactly the same, so when its measured at a 4.1m, is that at the finish line? And couldnt it have been something like 0.8m in first 2 seconds, then picked up to 3m then dropped a little down to 1.8m and then up to 4.1m at the end. Or maybe went over 4.1m then came down and then went up again.
Without looking up the specifics. They put a wind gauge around the 50m mark in the infield and the operator activates it to record the average wind during the entire 100m race.
For extra fast illegal times, either turn it backwards or stand in front of the thing. Half the time, the operator won’t notice:)
The average velocity over 10sec as I remember
Oh ok makes a lot more sense now.
That had actually puzzled me for a long time
Charlie,
What kind of repercussions are the 9.77 and 9.68w (along with whatever Gay ends up running in the 200 rounds/final) going to have on his planning for Beijing? Pfaff said after Oba ran 9.69 his performances were tanked for a long time and the effects of it were too strong to recover from very easily. What are your thoughts on that?
Seems like a great form of overspeed training, and one that is safe too. Lots of wind + super fast track + tons of competition.
It’s a little different I imagine when you run a PR the day before and you run about a tenth faster than you ever have in your life in the final.
Ya I guess with it being back to back days. But now he has 3 days off I believe before the 200m heats. Anyone have any idea what he would do in these 3 days? Just rest? Little Tempo? stretch?
i think the 200’s start on fri.
o ya my bad, they do start on fri

Where does the 0.87 come from
Valsalva effect- you slow up when you breathe in but speed up when you blow out slowly under great pressure.
I do that all the time after 30 meters during my transition I loose a step on the field then I run them back down.
Oh wow, speed goes up and down just like that. Seems interesting.
