Subject: RE: IMLP watching threadRogillio - 2009-07-26 6:07 PM "mind over matter" That's the announcer's explaination of why people collapse at the finish line. Hmmm....never thought of it that way. I have always found it interesting that some people (usllually FOPers) collasped right after crossing the finish line. Why is that? Should walking be less taxing than the running they were just doing? ~Mike You'll see that regularly in people who just ducked in under a "cutoff" time - like the half hour marks 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30... they were doing the math and knew they had to give it all to get under the mark. If I had to run a minute per mile last 3 miles to make 11:07 vs. 11:10 I probably wouldn't... but if it would give me 10:59:59 vs. 11:03 I'd dig deep. |
