renowned he should also remove his toenails wrote:
2 tonsils removed at 1.5g each. Total weight saved 3g.
for every gram of weight lost, you save approximately 0.0027 seconds per km.
3g x 0.0027 seconds = 0.0081 seconds saved over 1km.
In a 5k Jakob will therefore save 0.04 seconds.
4 hundredths of a second could be the difference in a sprint to the line.
Jakob 13:11.30, Mo Katir 13:11.43 is his race with closest finish I can remember. Taking no chances here.
