ethical dilemas

this that and the other guy would like to pose a question to the general public (gya and the bold feel free to answer)

today in my track championships i did three events, the 110 meter high hurtles, the 300 meter hurtles, and the triple jump ( insert joke about how lame triple jump is). now the 110 hurtles i amazed myself, though i came in 10th place out of 18 or so, i set a personal record for myself by 1 second (for those who dont know one second in a 110 race is like 1 minute in a 2 mile pretty darn good). same thing in the triple jump i stepped up to the line and jumped a full foot farther than i had ever jumped before, the only problem came in the 300 hurtles, in that race not only did i finish 4th to last and last in my heat, on the last hurtle i messed up my jump fell skinned my knee and pulled a groin muscle. it was mortifying, now i have to ask…

is that a good season? in terms of school would 2 A+ and a C be good or even passable?

In a statistical sense, two 100%’s and a 70% would give you a 90% overall.

However, I see this as getting an A in math/science, and a C in history.

My point? They are independent variables, not dependant, meaning one has not bearing on the other. I recommend taking how you did overall in the three events individually, making a grade from them, and then almost mentally writing a report card for yourself in track. From this I would say you are doing extremely well in two events, but have to work on one. I think giving yourself an overall grade would be downgrading your accomplishments and hiding what you must work to achieve.

Oh, and I fully agree with your point on my last post.
