Think i heard them say 3:30.


I`m not normally intersted in running at all, but this Bolt bloke is very impressive with what seems to be not a lot of effort.

Pah Montell Douglas failing to qualify with an 11.38. I used to be able to run a 12 on grass with my school shoes on.

So what you're saying is you'd be beaten by a girl who can't even make the semi-final of the Olympics. Are you sure you're proud of that?

Haha good point.

No i wasnt being serious. Just an observation that i was only .6 of a second slower that an olympic althlete.

You could say it was the worst "i got beaten by a girl and liked it" thread ever hehe
