You actually made me go back and think for a little while. I remember it being 9.something seconds. I asked my SO, who went to highschool with me at the time, and she said she remembered it being just under 10 seconds. And that she remembered me being able to do it in just under 12 with jeans on.

Why the fuck would I lie to people about something so mundane? I could really care less. I typed that comment on the toilet and didn't think much of it when I typed it.

I bet the average 6'1'' 17 year old could sprint at ~10m a second for 11 seconds. 12 seconds is the average for a adolecent male.

I'll double down with a stiff upper lip on this one. Yes, I'll admit, I took "nine seconds" and ran with it.
