I don’t think you realize how big of a deal even .1 seconds is when it comes to a short race like this… when looking at the record for 60m, first all time is 6.34 seconds. 25th all time is only .13 seconds behind at 6.47.

Reek was still .23 seconds behind that… it’s not as simple as just “shaking the rust off” to go from 6.7 to 6.34

EDIT: just looked further into it, 6.7 is tied with about 100 other people for 1551st all time
