Default Re: What do you consider to be a fast 400m time?

I'm noticing a few rounding off of times. When comparing race times (400m times is racing), a hundredth of a second can make all the difference.

If my car runs a 12.9, I can not legitimately go out and tell everyone that I have a 12 second car. It's either a 12.9 or a 13 second 400m car.

Same with 9.9 second 400m; it's either a 9.9 or a 10 second car.

A 9 second & a 9.9 second 400m time are totally different.
