Click tabs · Mobile/tablet stacks all pages

Summary: Event Results + Time Lost + Projected Potential

7.98 is not a speed ceiling. The time loss is measurable: takeoff zone errors, long landings that brake step 1, and lateral drift that forces hip rotation for a right-leg lead hurdler.

Start + H1 — Distance-Correct Step Map

Start to H1 is fixed: 13.72m = 45'0" = 540". Best target takeoff for Allan’s frame: 84" (band 82–86"). Steps 1–8 must total 456".

Speed Build (Start → H1 Takeoff)

mph

Speed starts at 0.0 mph and builds each step

Peak here: 17.3 mph into H1 setup. That’s realistic for 60mH rhythm (not 22+ mph).

H1–H5 Zones — Takeoff, Landing, Lateral, Interval Speed

Each hurdle is measured in inches (takeoff + landing + lateral). Then we verify if speed rebuilds across the 3 steps.

Value proof: inches are measurable, repeatable, coachable.

3-Step Interval Speed (Touchdown → Takeoff)

mph

Interval speeds: touchdown, step 1, step 2, takeoff

Rule: If step 1 is slow, landing was long. Fix landing first.

All Steps — Full Race Step Ledger

Every contact is tracked and reported. Lateral offset is included on every step and every touchdown/takeoff in inches.
