I added an extra touch to these videos by showing a slo-mo version immediately after the race video.
Full results can be found here.
In this race, I am in Lane 6 and I get a horrible start, as I popped up immediately after the gun. I won’t make excuses, but a lack of racing didn’t help (this was only my 3rd 100m of the year). In order to peak for a 100m, you have to run 5-7 races under your belt in a given season. For a 400m, 3-5 races is sufficient.
With 97 entries, and 72 declared athletes, this results in 9 heats on a 8 lane track, “2P6T†or Top 2 advance on Place and 6 fastest Times advancing to a 3-heat semifinal of 24 athletes. 81 declared athletes or more would result in an additional Preliminary round.
I placed 3rd in my race, but was not one of the 6 fastest times (32nd overall).

Hi Jimson,
Where was this held? Vancouver?
Peter
The 2007 World Masters Athletics were held in Riccione, Italy, Sept 4-15, 2007.
Some demographics of the event:
Our Italian host accounted for almost one-third of the 9000+ participants, and the most popular & competitive age groups (M40-44, M45-49, and M50-54) accounted for almost a third as well.
All in all, it was a great experience.
That does sound like a great experience - I love Italy.
Top 32 in the world ain’t bad for an old man! :)
@Mike - Thanks for the kind words :o) but everyone else in the race was old, too. I just happen to be the oldest in that 5 year age group.
