Chased by a dino: do we get away?

BBC World News just had a story telling us how fast different dinosaurs ran: Compsognathus 38 mph, Velociraptor 26 mph, T Rex 22. Then they told us that a normal person would be caught even by T Rex, but the world record holder over 100 meters would outrun even a velociraptor.

And all I can think is: Yeah, over 100 meters! How long could they keep it up? Somehow, I don't see them as the cheetahs of the Jurassic (or whenever).
