As Usain Bolk knows, the 100-meter dash is the gold-standard distance for determining the fastest in the world. On Tuesday, March 13 I will attempt my first 100-meter record at the Capital High School Track at 3:45 PM to become the fastest man in the world (carrying an egg on a spoon in the mouth). I hope to crush the current record of 21.94 seconds before the egg gets crushed (and I have had more than a few eggs get crushed during practice. In fact, today alone I lost three eggs but one of those was due to my 22-month-old son’s proclivity to attempt to emulate his father and a mother who thinks nothing would come of a 22-month-old getting into a package of raw eggs 🙂 ).
If successful, this will be my 39th world record.
The plan is to give a short talk to the Capital High School track team about having a growth mindset, the importance of STEM education, and then break the record.
