Out of interest, did anyone hear about the nike event thing that happened in at various places in London??... Something to do with short distance running, they had Qualifying days at various places where competitors were timed over 100m, then the top 500 of each sex went on to the final which was a 1km race (or time trial).
Sounded like a great laugh... they had music etc and on the qualifying days you could just turn up and do as many timed 100m sprints as you could fit in... I think the last qualifying male was around 17seconds??!?! And that's not even starting form standstill... you have a running start so are already in full flow when you cross the start line! Annoys me because although I'd consider myself to be a longer distance runner, i could manage well within 17seconds and would've faired/fared (spelling?!) even better on the 1km!
Not that i'd have won...lol... but had it been closer I'd have loved to have got involved!!
