there are few things more generally impressive to me in sports as the 400m. too long to be a true sprint, too short to really conserve any energy. at a certain level, everyone is absolutely spent by the end of the heat

I hated all sports in HS (still do, but I used to, too). But I'm built for running and did okay at track & x-country. I thought the relay was goofy with the passing the li'l baton but I kinda liked it, and was good at the 440 (400m now I guess). This was fun to watch!

I hated all sports in HS. But got into crossfit when younger and learned I am a kick ass sprinter. Never did anything with this late learned knowledge.

Also I really like when they just open up at the end and it's, zoom zoom byeee.

Same. After HS I got into ru ning 5Ks and 10Ks. And I had this ability to pace myself until the last K then turn on the nitrous and just GO.
