Am I missing some sarcasm here? What's wrong with the idea that the purest form of sport is competing with yourself and pushing as hard as you can, not just beating whoever happens to line up against you? Dan --- Jack Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The winner of the women's 400 hurdles at

t-and-f: inaccurate consistency (hand timing)

I apologize if this has been brought up before, but I don't recall seeing it mentioned. With regards to the recent and frequent discussion of hand timing and how one can get very close to auto times with practice and dexterity, I can't help but wonder if that is a good thing. After all, what if

t-and-f: inaccurate consistency (hand timing)

Message text written by Dan Kaplan So, if the idea that hand times can become more accurate with practice catches on, it seems the concept of FAT conversions would need to be revisited. And I'm sure it will be. But you should know that the idea that you're referring to has been around for

For those of you not among the 100,000+ spectators at the 107th Penn Relays, here are some highlights that might be useful . . . this post is a little long, I apologize. In the first relays after the death of legendary Jim Tuppeny, his old teams of Penn and Villanova put on quite a show. Penn

Re: t-and-f: inaccurate consistency (hand timing)

Message text written by Dan Kaplan That's what I meant when I said the method of hand timing actually makes a bit more sense. The hand time starts at the smoke from the gun, which in most cases should be exactly the same time as the athlete reacts to the sound of the gun. The hand time stops as
