I understood that - the reason for my initial post was that I was speculating reasons that time to 60m in 100m is generally quicker than time to 60m in a 60m race. Because, if the acceleration patterns were the same (and all other factors were equal), then athletes would get run equally as fast in a 60m race, as opposed to faster in the 100m.
Any way, sorry for using up your clearly far superior intellect.
