Imma say I can still beat 27 seconds. Maybe a year ago I spent a significant amount of time doing speed training with my high-school age soccer-playing daughter for "fun", so I had a good sense of what I could do then. Granted, at my age you can lose a lot of fitness in a year, but I'm going say I can still get it done.

I'm guessing our college track mags can smoke that still if they are still out there running at speed now and then.

Actually, now that I think of it, I ran 100/400 hurdles so I might do even better in the chaos of the HD Bucket race...

I think I still have the speed for it, just a matter of keeping the muscles from blowing up. I'd need a lot of bananas before hand.

We're gonna need SUF to weigh in on that as chimp fights are his purview.

[dan_pdx]

At his age, with a 4 second head start for 170 meters? Probably. Now you could give me an ebike and I still wouldn't win that race.

You're gonna have to fight the chimp first if you want the bananas

[ötzi]

That would make for a long day.

[BmillsSkier]

And really, don’t they complain enough these days about baseball games taking too long?

Chimp fight in order to get its bananas only then to face the Freeze?

You do that and win the Bravos should offer you a contract on the spot, no questions asked.

That chimp doesn't want to get between me and my bananas. Unless it wants to get its ass kicked.

Sounds like this might be the wrong thread

[ötzi]

Well he needs the bananas to beat the freeze, he's still on topic.

i gots a hundo on ill advised strategies'
cause i dont think the freeze has skis
nor can hang in the snow on a zipper line

[From_the_NEK]

What if I drop some sidewalk deicer from my pockets while I run?

The Freeze has nice goggles tho. They're big like Buttahfaces.

Watched the whole Yanks game last night hoping to see The Freeze.

Drop your banana peels.

Better off tossing one of the Home Depot Tool Race characters in his path.

Middle of the 6th inning.

[54-46]

Ok, so far:

Bagtagley -Yes
From_the_NEK - Maybe
54-46 - TBD
Toadman - No
EWG -Yes

Honorable Mention: Bmills over the HD Bucket

Was .4 slower than The Freeze at the 200 35 years ago. Probably .3 at 170m. How much of a head start so that I could try and then watch my hammy explode too?

[Timberridge]

Solid. That was on a cinder track or did they have synthetic back then?

So change TBD to yes?

Lots of fast mags here.

Based on most of the videos, it looks like a 4 second head start

On Monday this dude almost beat the Freeze.

Until the warning track monster got him at the finish line.

are those the new TGR Optics?

[muted reborn]

goes without saying but I'll say it: I could not beat The Freeze.

Amusing explanation on why people are falling right near the finish line.

https://simplifaster.com/articles/how-to-beat-the-freeze/

"The “Beat the Freeze” race from foul pole to foul pole is around 160 meters, which means the alactic system becomes fully taxed and the body shifts into using the lactic system as its primary energy source. Since the distance is so short, the aerobic system barely comes into play, so people are not falling down at the end of a race because they are aerobically tired. They are falling down because their central nervous system (CNS) has eroded to the point of affecting their coordination."

I can beat this shit, for sure. Even at 30. I ran a 10.9 as a junior in high school, 4.4 40 hand timed for football, and I was a fucken idiot druggy then. I forget my 200 time to be honest. If I practiced now I could run an 11 flat 100 within weeks. So given any sort of real distance advantage I can win.

Now, if an even race, that dude will smoke me. Good on him for being fast, props. At that level it ain't just genes, also hard work.

Ya think?
