As you can see, the rider passed 100 meters just under 10 seconds. At 14 seconds, the rider had gone 162 meters).
Great chart and research! Did you say that's a 4k race? 4000 meters? I know in distance running races we dont take off and accelerate as fast as we possibly can because we have to pace ourselves. So his 10 seconds at 100meters must be much less than he is capable of were he not pacing himself. I can tell you from my limited experience that after going 100% all out for 100m from a standing start I would have to slow way down to recover and continue racing for another 3900 meters. I think 10 seconds might be doable for someone much less than elite like me. For now I just want to break into the 13s.
