Default Re: Contest poll: Did this 405 pound man run the 100m dash under 22 se

Did this put you in the .001 percentile of speed in the army? I'm not even kidding.

I'm just guessing, I never ran a timed 100 before yesterday. But 10 is world class. So I'll guess that the fastest guys I know can put up a 12; the average guys 13-14; and the slower-than-average guys like me 15 or better.

Am I way off? I'm just guessing.

(Note that I was 25 at the time, 5'7", 200 lbs. Every week, I was running 18 miles; bicycling 30 miles; and playing 2-3 hours of racquetball--trying to shed that extra weight that never did come off. All this cardio was great for my endurance, but didn't help my speed a lick. The only distance we timed back then was 2 miles for the PT test, and my times in that never improved much.)
