in the name of SCIENCE!!!

Postby jmstyborski on Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:53 pm

Being involved in the highland game, there is no doubt that we are vastly superior athletes. And being superior athletes, i thought it would be interesting to conitnue to push and assess our superior athletic ability. Specifically,, REACTION TIME. Log onto:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/ ... rsion5.swf

to test your reaction time. (which is no doubt vastly superior to our Non heavy athletic underlings )

Personally, my time averages around .17 with my best time .1382 sec.

good luck. AM curious to see how fast my superior athletic brethren are.

Frank dunna worry my friend. In the name of all we old masters, geezers, ect I just posted a fastest time of 0.123 seconds. Not bad for a 53 year young guy. Oh by the way please give Lee my belated wishes that she had a happy birthday as well. I hope to see you for the clinic. Can I just tell you that I REALY hate snow and ice. ( Although I think tossing all those 50 pound bags of salt have to be helping also. I hope to see you this year as well John. Are you having the games this year? And if so will there be a masters class? Do you know when?

.172 with a fastest time of .115, that was only good for a "rocketing rabbit" I'd hate to see how fast you need to be to get turbo-charged! :o

I did manage one with a 0.000 but it didn't really count because my finger slipped and it was just luck that a sheep started to move at just that time ;)

In the morning (6 am) I drink a 12 oz can of Mountain Dew (the Nectar of the Gods!) At 8 am I take 2 Ripped Fuel pills. At 3 pm I take 2 more Ripped Fuel pills. That's it. I do play other computer games from time to time. Some are based on speed. :geek:

I seem to be good for .18 on average. Best of .163. I'm better when I have my dog with me.
