I was at a meet recently and noticed how drastically slower my time was compared to my PB.
My 100m personal best was 12.17 with a 1.9 tailwind, but I only ran 12.69 into a -3.0 headwind. Do you think that a -3.0 headwind would have that much effect on a race, or did I just ran awful? How can I adjust my 100m with a -3.0 to find out what it would have been with no wind at all?
Run* not ran
Thanks. Do you know how accurate this converter is?
It is accurate to six significant figures. Probably good enough for you.

Mathematical Models of Athletic Performances
My primary research in this area focuses on building realistic mathematical and computational models of sprint performances, accounting for atmospheric drag (wind and altitude effects). Recent studies have also examined the effects of temperature, humidity level, and atmospheric pressure on sprint race times.
I have also studied event and gender cross-comparisons through a joint project with Athletics Canada.
