    I just tried to play this game. My co-workers were wondering why they were hearing annoying beep sounds from my office.

    And for some reason I can't play this game on my Casio watch because it doesn't let you stop it right way - you have to wait an obligatory period before the stop becomes effective. Bummer.

    That's a nice feature... I have run plenty of intervals and a couple races where I double clicked the start button and didn't notice the watch had stopped until a quarter mile in.

    Take all the WR times

    write each on a slip of paper

    put then in a cup

    pull one out and try to match it with you stopwatch

    record and return slip

    repeat until you complete the whole set.

    That's easy. Just run the corresponding distance at WR pace.

    Games Committee cites this rule:--- no clocks or outside prompts to do any of the distances.running WR pace to assist you would be deemed a prompt. Result null attempt

    re: finger speed velocity

    On the Timex Ironman several years back that if you stopped at 10.99 and then did start / stop again, it would go back to 10.00. I wrote them about this; they did not seem very interested.

    Used to play watch baseball with my high school coach: 1.00 was a hr, 0.99 a triple, 0.98 a double, 0.97 a single, 0.95 a double play, and everything else an out.

    Very low scoring games I'm sure
