Omitted from the list below was Radcliffe's first competition of the year in a performance about as strong as anything else in 2002. On Feb 17 at the World's Best 10-K in San Juan on a stinking hot day with high humidity - is there any other kind in Puerto Rico? - Radcliffe ran 30:43 in what was

I ran a few running-start simulations with my models (using parameters which give a 9.8 sprinter's splits), and I had a lot of trouble getting an 8.6 split for them, let alone a 10.1 sprinter. I think 8.6 is the stuff [tall tales] of legends ... like Montgomery's 9.96 on a grass track!

Another post that I wanted to comment on but didn't have the time. A common misconception is that a tail wind pushes a runner along. This of course is true only where the aiding wind is so great it is greater than the runners velocity with respect to the ground. Even with a tail wind a runner
