Derek Drouin measures and places a piece of tape on the track surface in order to determine where to start his run up. Athletes will adjust their take off distance depending on wind, track condition and if they are feeling lethargic or quick that day. Each athlete can leave a piece of tape on the track for competition either using a specific colour or mark on the tape to identify it as theirs. (KevinLight/CBCSports)
