Answer 3

maybe because yo utore your handspring and it stil has some problems. make sure you stretch alot and don't drink/eat alot when your race is in like 2 hours. maybe your just not as in well of shape either. try workinng out alittle bit more and see if it changes.

good luck getting your speed back! =]

Answer 4

ur hamstring

Answer 5

um maybe because it was below freezing and you tore your hamstring.

i cant believe you asked this question. honestly.

Answer 6

was it on the same track, FAT timing. there are different types of timing, and will vary greatly--especially on sprinting events. the type of track (synthetic, dirt) also affects sprinting times. don't put yourself down, keep training.

Answer 7

well since u said ur 100 is getting better then possibly u aren't in as good of shape anymore and u start to get tired in the middle fo the 200 and u don't get tired in the 100 or ur hamstring might not bother u when u only run 100 m and in the middle of a 200 it will start to bother you just try working out if thats the problem or make sure to stretch ur hamstring really if thats the problem

Answer 8

You may have to build that hamstring up a little more as it will have lost strength off the tear due to lack of training etc..., i did mine and was out for a couple of months, it took me a long time to get back to my pb's, its probably the most important muscle for sprinting so it will affect you for a while.
