Are you referring to the standing sprints at Canterbury (Tempe) Velodrome?

You will be told be some that its 250mtrs, its actually 200mtrs

The split is at the 100mtr mark, ie half distance.

Typically you will do the second 100mtr's in half the time of the first 100mtr's, so if you did the first 100mtrs in 12 seconds then it will take 6 seconds for the second 100mtrs. This will vary between individuals and gearing.

man mike you know alot more about what we are doing!
i only know that the little timeis the little line, and the big timeis the big line.
The little people have good little times because they have little gears, and bigger people have better bigger times because they have bigger gears
