Typing marathon and 100-meter dash speeds; Washington D.C. fiasco

Have you ever watched a racing event?  Have you watched runners running the 100-meter dash and the marathon race?  I see both races during the Olympics.  The 100-meter dash race would be 100 meters and the marathon race would be 26 miles 385 yards.

Have you noticed the racing strategies for each race would be different for each runner?  The 100-yard dash a runner will go as fast as the runner can.  The runner will go at full-seed to complete the race.  The runner can go at a fast rate of speed for the race is short.   The runner is likely not going to need to go at a slower rate of speed to have the energy reserve to continue the race.  The 100-meter race can be completed quickly.  The fastest 100-meter race is Usain Bolt at 9.58 seconds in the men race.  The fasters 100-meter race is Florence Griffith Joyner at 10.49 seconds in the women race.  Runners will go at a fast race of speed for the race is short. (from Wikipedia at the “100 metres” article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_metres)

The Marathon race will have runners going at a fast race of speed.  Marathon runners will not go as fast as they can as they will need a reserve energy bank to allow them to complete the long race.  The faster race for a marathon has been Eliud Kipchoge at 2:01:39 for men and for women has been Brigid Kosgei at 2:14:04. (from Wikipedia at the “Marathon” article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon).   The marathon race will be longer than the 100-yard dash.  Marathon runners will go at a slower speed to allow them to compete and complete a longer race.

Typing speed could be descried in two different speeds.  You could have the typing test be the 100-meter dash.  And the typing speed at a job position could be the marathon.

You may set yourself for physical problems with your hands if you approach the typing test as a 100-meter dash rather than a marathon race.  If you go as fast as you can in the typing test and then expect to have that same speed for typing in the entire work day; you may be setting yourself up for injury for your hands.  Your hands may not have the energy reserves to be able to go through the entire marathon race of a work day if you are at a 100-meter race speed.  Approach the typing test as if you are doing a marathon – attempt to go at a speed you think you could go throughout the entire day.  Go typing marathon speed instead of typing 100-meter dash speed.

My opinion
The following is my opinion about the following events; thanks for reading.

You may have heard about the events that have occurred in Washington D.C.  Much content has been created about the past week – much of the content better created than what I can compose.  Those involved in the capitol fiasco should be held responsible.  In my own personal opinion, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office.  I tend to be a liberal in my political beliefs but I will take the most conservative core person to be in political office who follows a traditional political sports playbook.  Some of these traditional political sports playbook rules are

  • Respect for others opinions (people can have different opinions)
  • Respect for your political opponents (your opponent not your enemy but your opponent much like in sports),
  • Respect for laws,
  • And respect for election results

Traditional political sport playbook rules that were common before this current president.  Thank you for reading my opinion.  Thank you.
