Caltech Fall 2008!

I think top 8 will be faster than 17 this time. Just a guess.

I'll show up, haven't cubed in awhile, hope I can do okay.
 
Is anyone up for a cube-mile competition after the Rubik's Cube competition? It works like this:

Solve a cube
Run a lap
Solve a cube
Run a lap
Solve a cube
Run a lap
Solve a cube
Run a lap

I had surgery a month ago, so I haven't really been moving much at all. I believe in the summer of 2006 when I was on the track team, I would have been able to easily sub-6 this event. Right now, it's more likely that my time for this would be around 7:30. But I'm really not sure... as I haven't really been moving at all. (But I think I should be able to beat Dan Dzoan... (I don't know... gosh, this is going to really hurt. I have a suture thread sticking out of me!))

Anyway, bring some shoes if you're interested. Otherwise, you can come see the race between me and Dan.
 
damn, sub 6 is pretty fast, that means you run a sub 5 mile. (if on average you solve the cubes in 15seconds)
 
Well no... you don't have to sub-5 a mile. If I can average 18 seconds on a cube, I may not be able to run 75 second 400s, but I can probably run four 72 second 400s with 18 seconds of rest in between.
 
Posting this on the Yahoo group, and here...

I would really like to attend Caltech Winter, but Leyan's carpool
filled up (and there is practically no public transportation to LA).
Is there anyone else driving from the Bay Area that has space in their
car, who is willing to take me?
I would prefer to leave after 3:30PM (on Friday), and after 11AM at
the earliest. I'm at Stanford, but I'd also be willing to meet anyone
elsewhere in the Bay Area, and I could probably meet you wherever
necessary by 1PM.

If anyone has free space, could you please email me at lucasg [at] gmx.de?
I can find accomodations with friends at Caltech, and I'd be willing
to pay for gas/give you a free cube/reimburse you somehow. All I need
is a ride on Friday, and eventually a ride back after Saturday.

Imploringly,

You were freakin' born in 1995?

Back in 1995... I was your age! Ugh... it's really starting to hit me when I go through registration lists, look at birthdays, and see people born in the 21st century.
 
lol, tyson, it's okay, hahaha.

Live cast is awesome, what's the link?
