Not quite right. I talked to Stacy afterwards. She said that she asked for the bar to go to 476 but it went to 481 by mistake. If this is indeed true, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, then she CAN have the bar lowered for three attempts at the height she originally wanted. As I was

Right, but which Charlie do you believe? Charlie then or Charlie now? What I'm saying is that IF (a very big if) Charlie has now seen the light thanks to watching Marion and Tim compete clean, then it is not unreasonable to conclude that the old Charlie was either untruthful or simply wrong,

t-and-f: Limits on anaerobic exertion

2003-02-04 Thread Jonas Mureika
Can anyone provide me with some (scientific) references which discuss limits on anaerobic exertions, particularly in sprinting. I have a few which propose that the average limit is about 30s (or roughly 270-280m for a sprint), but I'm interested to know if anything different has been claimed

almost surely the best astronaut was Ed White, one of the original group. He was 4th in the 400H in the '52 NCAA (for Army; after graduation moved over to the Air Force). non-qualifying 4th in his heat in the OT that year. From: Bob Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Bob Duncan [EMAIL

My thanks to the multiple track freaks who are also astronaut freaks! My misreading of the Ed White bio on the NASA site. He wasn't one of the seven *original* (i.e., Mercury astronauts). He was one of the 9 in the Gemini program, which I guess came next. So, seguing to movie trivia, who did

Some U.S. track officials are also disturbed that Jones and Montgomery would choose to work with a Canadian coach -- whether he has a good reputation or a bad one -- as the move seems to suggest there is a dearth of qualified coaches in the United States. Please. There are some US track officials
