I went to the track this morning and ran a 12.7 out of the blocks.

PS. I'll try to take all your questions but I have a prior obligation starting at 5:00 PM and may not return until some time around 9pm where I will then finish answering all questions.
age?
How much snow will this Nor' Easter produce?

Hand Timed
Alright, I appreciate all the questions. Like I said, I gotta head out for a bit and I'll check in by 9 to field the rest of the questions.
Are you jealous of better endowed sprinters that fill their shorts better than you, white boy?
How old are you?
Do you run for a team?
Do you train regularly?
Do you believe innate speed is trainable?
The slowest guy on my high school 4x8 ran a 12.4 hand timed from a standing start a couple weeks ago. How does it feel to be slower than a 10th grader?
was it done on pure hate?
follow up question:did you look relaxed?

No team right now. I'm looking into running at an open meet in April. Might meet a lot of people there and think about joining a team or two.
I don't train for speed regularly. That's why I was so pleased with my time this morning.
I believe innate speed is trainable to a certain extent. I believe I have that (evidenced by 12.7) and could get high to mid 10's if I train hard over the summer.

I don't believe this for a second. If he really ran sub 12.7 he'd be out of high school. No CHANCE

? Don't know what that means but I was just going out there to try my best.

Just realizing my name is misspelled. I'll keep it so you all know it's me.
Anyways, No I was in spikes. About looking relaxed, I doubt I was. I try to gain as much momentum and speed and that requires really moving your body.

These are both great questions. I didn't think to check the wind speed, but I felt it blowing pretty hard during my run. No altitude, I live in Iowa City so not quite the altitude of other places.
You would about tie the 70-74 world record for 100m, if you hadn't timed yourself. As it is, add at least .125 for reaction so you got a 12.825 or worse. Mostly likely rounds up to a 12.9. Still beats 75-79 though, pretty good.
