If you do your turn right after the guy who goes first, your clock is almost never running, and you put player 1 in time trouble. That's why one person should run at a time.

COOL!!! YOU GOT IT DONE EARLY!!!

But where is a link I can post on FB???

[quinquennia]

If you double click the movie, it should take you to the YouTube page, and you will be able to copy and paste the URL there, or use the paste to Facebook option.

Yep, got it--had Evans you in a FB thread if you would like to comment. I couldn't tag you since we don't appear to be FB friends.

Definitely awesome, but I think 400 metres is a bit much to run 12 to 15 times in a game.

[quinquennia]

I dunno. I think me, Chris Lipe, and John O'laughlin could handle it - but maybe not in that kind of heat. We run 10k's fairly frequently. I think I could even handle back to back games.

I think that under better conditions, like a cool morning, I could have done 3 more laps minimum, that takes us through 12 turns, and maybe even a total of 16 laps.

I'm sure John would agree--don't know about Evans or Chris.

mix of exercise and thinking

Reminds me of chess boxing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing) but with a less competitive exercise component.

I also like the idea of standing up to play. I hate sitting at a tournament for 8 games in a row.

Did you feel that the exercise and blood flow helped your games?

Unsure about the blood flow, but the heat definitely wasn't helping anyone's game out.
