June 14, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) Any math geeks here who can tell me how fast that is in MPH? Just curious. IIRC when Michael Johnson obliterated the 200m record in 1996, it was something like 30 mph, but I am not positive.

Just curious. 100 m = 0.0621 miles, so if he was able to keep the pace up for an entire mile (unrealistic), that would be a mile in 157.33 seconds = almost a 2.5 minute mile (again, unrealistic). MPH-wise, that is 22.88 MPH.
June 14, 200520 yr I'm curious. 100m = 0.06214 mi His rates: 9.77 sec = 0.06214 mi 1 min = 0.3816 mi 1 hour = 22.896 mi About 23 mph. The avg speed of the 2004 Tour de France was about 25 mph.
