David Rudisha breaks the world record over 800m: 1:41.09!

Breaking news, not much to say yet, and sadly, I didn't even see this race, but David Rudisha has delivered on his exceptional promise and broken the 800m world record in Berlin today!His time of 1:41.09 took the narrowest 0.02s margin off legend Wilson Kipketer's previous best, set back in 1997.

The splits from the race had the pacemaker hitting 400m in 48.65s, and then Rudisha led to 600m in 1:14.54.Rudisha was reportedly about 4m behind the rabbit at the bell, so an estimated time of about 49.1 s at the bell seems reasonable. This was followed by a third 200m that would have taken approximately 25.3s, with a final quarter in 26.64 seconds.

Estimates for Rudisha's lap times would be around 49.1 seconds followed by 52 seconds.That's about the optimal way to run it. Wilson Kipketer, for those who are wondering, set two world records (and equaled Seb Coe's world record before that), and his halves for all three runs are shown below:

1:41.73 (equal WR): 49.61 s + 52.12 s1:41.24: 48.3 s + 52.9 s1:41.11: 49.3 s + 51.8 s

Thanks again to those of you that hang around after the workout and help put all of the equipment away! You are appreciated more than you know!

It was great to see all of you kicking off the week in such a strong CF 864 kind of way! If you missed the 2 rounds of "Adam Brown" then you missed a good butt kicking! If you skipped out on it because it just looked too hard.....well, you already know what we think about "picking and choosing" huh? True CrossFitter or not? That question has been asked a lot and has seemed to pop up a lot lately in our box. Post your thoughts on CF 864 Facebook.

Thanks for your hard work!

Be Strong!

Jay and Janice
