Pull out the stopwatch app on your phone and see how fast 1” passes.

My first flying 200s in training were maybe in the 14 or 15” range when I had no idea what I was doing. I made it to 11.5” as an old guy.

Keep in mind that Cav is squarely an enduro and can roll a 10.x” flying 200. He’s not a normal human, but I mention him to illustrate that enduros are very capable of riding fast times...when they train for it
Like I said, out on a limb. He could very well end up being a sprinter. Rowers often make very good enduros. Dancers, who knows .
