12.7 is solid, most idiots on here overestimate what they can run for a real 100. Being self-timed you still probably cheated the reaction time a little but still. Can't tell if you are serious about improving to 10.xx though. Speed is trainable but that is a different league of sprinting. That's like sub-15 5K in terms of competitiveness.

I don't believe this for a second. If he really ran sub 12.7 he'd be out of high school. No CHANCE
Har har har. I got a good chuckle from this reply.
Ridiculous troll is ridiculous.

No, no. Wait a moment. I am channeling my inner ventolin^3... let's compute this dude's DVTT (tm).
OK. Standing start on a chewed up track. ~0.5s. No wind reading, when all PRs are assisted by dubious +2.0 readings. ~0.3s. No competition at all to get the juices flowing and maximize cadence, ~0.4s.
12.7-0.5-0.3-0.4 = 11.5s.
You are already in the mid-11 bracket so you only need to find 0.6s.

This is a troll thread, but it is possible for most people to run 12.0-12.5 off of half-assed training:

Have you ever had a thread you started on LRC deleted?
What shoes were you wearing?
Did you happen to yell "Gobble Gobble Mother F****rs" and grab your junk as you crossed the finish line?
Ummm...ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
