Why do some people lie so much?
Who knows?
John sometimes posts first and thinks later. It looked like around an average for the 2K of 36 SPM which would translate to an average of around 9.1 meters/stroke at his 91.7 second/500 pace.
Thanks for the link. Very interesting on the splits with the lack of negative splits. He just went out fast and kind of held on, relatively speaking, since his last split of 1:33.2 is hardly "hanging on".
Sometimes, maybe. Most of the time, for the past 5 or 6 years, he does this kind of thing purposely. Not only has this stroke rate nonsense been shown to be foolish several times in the past by more knowledgeable people, but the chart that hjs posted has been posted before immediately after a John Rupp disruption.
Regular forum people don't find this to be much of a problem since they long ago gave up in frustration on the Troll. Unfortunately it is the newest and most enthusiastic ergers coming here looking for good information that John causes to be dazed and confused, therefore doing them the greatest disservice.
He may be aiming his garbage at PaulS, Mike Cavistion, Dennis Hastings, Xeno Muller, Citroen, and others, but he is hitting the innocent newbies that I'm sure he fancies will rally 'round him if he welcomes them in a friendly and supportive manner.
Sad.
