Salmon

[red]

I found one old clipping, it was in the 11's not the 10's

I have no clue how physics work

[Patler]

Hmm, maybe it was 10.5?

Damnit, now i'm gonna have to look shit up

I can tell you i was all acceleration with shitty top end speed and no stamina (probably from the junk food)

I was much the opposite, poor start, decent top end speed and a lot of stamina in the sprints. Thus, I was a "quarter miler", the 440 yard dash in those days; and the mile relay. They tried to make me a half miler (880), but I hated that race. I would rather run the mile than the half.

Now those races are gone, and its all meters.

Patler just answered the question without trying

I was 4.5 in the 40 YARD dash

11.5 in the 100 METER run. Which is the same as 110 yards

That makes more sence

i got a funny story that you'll probably enjoy patler

we had a guy on our team, not great but not bad either, who was a 200 and 400 guys. one day out of the blue the coach decides to throw him in the 800. of course the kid freaks out, he has no clue how to run the 800 because he's never run anything over the 400. so he comes to me and a couple other guys and asks how he should run it. well we tell him that the 800 is an all out sprint, just like the 400.

kid grabs some starting blocks and heads to the starting line. gun goes off and the kid explodes out of the blocks (he's of course the only one using blocks) and takes off like its the 100. the crowds going nuts as this kid is just destroying everyone else. after about 500 yards the kids has at least a 100 yard lead, all of a sudden, on the back stretch at about the 600 mark, while everyones cheering except for us (we're rolling around laughing), the kid just takes a nose dive face first into the track. he's legs just completely quit on him and he ended up passing out mid stride.

he came too about 10 minutes later and was wondering if he won. that poor bastard looked like he was on his deathbed for the next week

I had to run the 440 and and 4x40 and toss the fucking shot-put because I was the first boy in our grade to go through puberty and the other kids were all gay.

But for the goodness of God, that could have been me! I never did figure out how to run the half-mile. I either died over the last 220 and prayed I wouldn't collapse, or finished knowing I had too much left.

i never figured out the 400. i would take off at about 80 or 90% and got for about 300 yards until i started to fade.

my old man i guess was pretty good at it back in the 60's. second fastest in wisconsin, ran it around 48 seconds. i have no clue how guys go that.

like you, my goal in the 400 was just don't collapse

[Deputy Nutz]

In 8th grade I didn't want to run the 800 trial, so I sat in the locker room and I wrote down some random number that a buddy of mine told me to write down. Apparently I fucked up because it was determined that I would be the one running the 800. I did just like Red's buddy did, I blew out of the gate made it about 600 meters and had to walk the rest of the way to finish 2nd to last.

What a stupid race.

i agree with others, coach sounds like a real douche bag

go on vacation just out of spite, he isn't gonna miss jack shit. family memories like that are few and far between. practice is just, well its just a fucking practice

and most college programs you can just walk onto when you get there. if you have the speed, they'll take you

We went. Just waited till that tiny window between baseball and football. Right now he says he's not playing baseball this year. We'll see as time grows closer....lol Although I'd miss it a lot since he's been playing for 10 + yrs. it would be nice to have a summer free.

[GrnBay007]

and tell him to get a new race, the 400 is the worst god damn pile of shit that the world has ever come up with

ugg, i hated that race. coach use to make me run the 4x400 relay. it was alway the last race of the day, and i use to feel like shit because of it the rest of the night

i use to run it in around 55 seconds (not good but fastest on the team cause everyone else didn't try). if your kid is going for a record, i'm guessing he's going for something in the 48 to 47 second range?

tell him to start running 600 has fast as he can for practice, it makes the 400's seem easier

Last year (10th) he ran a 51.2 in the 400 and 22.8 in the 200. His 4x400 and distance medley team went to state last year. They didn't do that well, I think placed 18th but all 4 of them will be back this year.

The records he is trying to break are 49.30 (400) and 21.60 (200).

I remember him hating the 400 when he first started it but now I don't know that he would change. He's a strong finisher.

[red]

fast ass kid

that 1.2 seconds is gonna be tough to shave off in the 200. the 400 record though is easily within his reach. he already has more then enough speed, just work on that stamina. maybe go work out with the long distance folks every now and then

[GrnBay007]

the 400 record though is easily within his reach.

haha hope so!! That record is about 40 yrs. old. That would be cool.

Never liked fish much except beer battered perch and broiled walleye. My mom made canned salmon into patties or a loaf using bread crumbs and egg. Since I started the Primal Blueprint diet I've been making the salmon patties because they're good for me - high protien and omega 3's. The eggs add the same.

The problem with canned salmon is cleaning it. Since it's so expensive, I buy 2 cans every trip to the store until I have 12 or 14 cans. It's a project, but then I pop them in the freezer in freezer bags after grilling or baking. It's a great quick meal since cooking for one is a hassle.

Yeah, my mom used to make the BEST salmon patties! I never realized all the work you go through with that canned salmon.

Try this: Preheat the oven to 525 (not a typo). Put a quarter stick of butter in a pan with either dill or thyme and put the pan in the oven until the butter starts to sizzle. Add the salmon skin side up and cook for four to five minutes. Peel the skin off. If it does not peel right off in one piece, put it back in the oven for a minute or two and it will. Once the skin is off, flip the fish and cook for four minutes or until it flakes (or until desired doneness). Spoon the butter over the top and sprinkle on a little extra spice and serve with dijonnaise on the side.
