Two Busy Days

   How's your Wednesday looking?  I have three meetings -  fairly light, that will give me the opportunity to catch on a Secure ftp issue, get with my team members and refresh the projects list, and, like that.


   Here's someone's else's day:


   8:30AM -  100m dash - at which you need to run a 10.5 or better.  (Jesse Owens won the 1936 100 meter dash in 10.3)
   9:35AM - Long Jump - better jump at least 7.8 meters (25 feet, 7 inches)  (Willie Steele won the long jump in '48 with a leap of 7.825)
   11:15 - Shot Put - need to throw at least 15.6 meters (51 feet) (Leo Sexton won in LA in '32 with a 16.00 throw)


   Then you get a break, but don't make big plans, you need to be back on the track for:


   4:45PM - High Jump -  just do a quick 2.15 meters (7'1") (The legend, Valeri Brumel, won in '64 in Tokyo, with a 2.16)
    8:20pm - 400m - 0:48 or so. (Eric Liddel won in Paris in '24 with a :47.6)


    Go rest up....tomorrow is harder.


     The parenthetic winning times and distances are for the open event itself, not the decathlon......


     Best of luck to Ashton Eaton, and all the competitors of the decathlon.
