I was reading somewhere earlier about a
Sprint Pentathlon all run on the same day
with fairly short breaks between each run.
The distances were 50/100/400/200/300 in
that order with breaks of 10-25mins between.
Certainly an interesting idea for a sprint event
(albeit a gruelling one!).
I thought having a 60m instead of a 50m would
possibly be a better idea and my plan would
be like this -
60/10mins/100/15mins/400/25mins/200/20mins/300
The times for all distances are added together
and the winner is the athlete with the shortest
combined time. I like the idea (probably not
a very new one but i hadn't heard of it before!)

Sounds interesting Paul. It'd probably favour a good 400m runner. Easier than a 'double decathlon'!
Yep! I think you might be right Ewen.
That would be where one would lose or
gain the most time.
I have a few more idea's along those
lines, how about a 300/1000/600 ??
Perhaps the first two could be run as
heats and then the 600 could be a final
for say the top 6 or 8 runners.
