In reply to stonemaster: i dont know now but i remember county trials not being that much slower than 12 seconds, i think. 1986, does that sound right?
well a 100ft can be tied to 2 trees so as long as it takes to cut the wire and climb the trees. 200foot I think I needed a mast at the centre so it would take 20 minutes or so to put up the mast
I can remember doing the 100 yards at school but broke the high jump record for the school age group, 3 ft 7 1/2 inches i think, can't remember the age but the record stood for about 3 or 4 years
I think i used to be able to run 100m in 13 seconds when i was a nipper. Not sure about the other distances. Long jump was my thing, i could jump 5.20m when i was 15. Then I discovered booze.
Despite being a club runner and training regularly on my local track, I don't think I have ever been timed for the 100 or 200 and only do timed 400s as part of a set of intervals like 20x400m.
In reply to Dominicandave: I've done an informal 100 and 400 (as part of track mile events) in about 17s and 78s respectively. I am useless over short distances.
In reply to Dominicandave: not been timed since I was a schoolboy in the 80's when I ran for a club (border harriers) Got 3AAA's grade 2 for 100m which if I remember was about 14 secs (aged 12) & 29. something for 200m about the same age? Time has blurred things!
