t-and-f: Leading from the front

The IrishTimes Sunday, November 04, 2001 Johnny Watterson The glasses are rose-tinted but Steve Ovett was the one who, when he crossed the finish line at the Olympic Games, wrote I love you to his girlfriend in the air with his finger and made the workingmen's clubs of England wince.

Re: t-and-f: Chip timing in the Times.

All it would take is money. An extra set of mats and a computer to read the signals could be placed anywhere on the course. You'd have to wait for enough runners to pass the split to get a score, of course. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: t-and-f: Chip timing in the Times.

I believe that this has already been done to an extent. I seem to remember that when nationals were held at Furman a couple of years back, Doug Padilla had a system in place at the 1/2 point that showed which team was ahead (team scores) and it was transmitted to the scoreboard. I also seem to

t-and-f: Rabbit Run or Rabbit at Rest?

I'd like to hear the lists thoughts on the whole rabbit issue now that another marathon (in Greece) has been won by one: http://www.iaaf.org/news/index.asp?Filename=/news/Articles/getnews.asp?Code=4321 Do the second place guys have a legit beef or are they just being babies about losing? Is

Re: t-and-f: Rabbit Run or Rabbit at Rest?

If the pace of the rabbit is known ahead of time, I don't see how there could possibly be a gripe on the part of the other competitors if they choose not to hang with the lead. If they do hang with the rabbit and get outkicked or outlasted, that it would seem the rabbit was the superior athlete

Re: t-and-f: Rabbit Run or Rabbit at Rest?

We have talked about this on the list many times (check the archives if you are interested). I'd say opion is about 90% in favor of the rabbit retaining the win and anyone who complains is a big baby. A rabbit is hired to run a certain pace to a certain point. I've never heard of a stipulation

Re: t-and-f: Chip timing in the Times.

Each set of mats boxes cost $75,000. There are many races that use a set at different spots, however. The Michigan High School State Championships are all run at Michigan Speedway get splits at the 1 2 mile points. - Original Message - From: Jack Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

RE: t-and-f: Rabbit Run or Rabbit at Rest?

Over the years I can remember a number of rabbits who led all the way and won the race. They ran the pace they were supposed to run, but no one followed. The rabbits did their job and decided to hang in the race because no one was on the pace with them! they deserved to win and earned their
