Hey Everyone,
I'm back from vacation! Sorry about the delayed post. I wasn't able to catch the end of the Olympics but I did see Bolt run! This article was found by our Program Manger, Ryan (for 3 more days) and it really gives you a good indication of how quick and fast these athletes are. I did pretty well on my first attempt but the second got me! I was too quick and got disqualified. :( I will say this though, I agree with Bill Murray's tweet stating that an "Average Joe" should be placed in a lot of the events for reference. This would be particularly useful in a lot of the track and field events! Sometimes it's hard to appreciate how amazing they all are when the only reference is against themselves. The decathlon would also be a great event to watch an "Average Joe" in. For the Olympic Committe out there, I volunteer!

Test your reaction time and try to imagine it in a full out sprint off the blocks!
