Ibuprophin vs. reaction times

[Paul Precht]

I used to take two aspirins and a sandwich about an hour before first round was scheduled to be called at the Nats, it takes the edge off the nervousness. If I make it to 2nd round, I'm usually pretty relaxed. When I'm lucky enough to make it to the 4th or 5th round that nervous feeling is back big time.

I really can't think of a medical reason for the aspirin to help with nervousness. Maybe it's the sandwich. Perhaps you should snack between rounds. Could be a sugar thing. Also I think everyone gets nervous to some degree while racing. Jim

Just one aspirin makes me drowsy, two with a sandwich would put me to sleep normally but in this case it counteracts the adrenalin. Wine has the same affect on me but is not an option when racing.

2009 Bracket Finals, I came down with the flu on Thursday of the event. I was miserable. Took a bunch of over DayQuil or something along those lines. Couldn't drive the stripe worth a darn, so I kept it dialed .01 hard and gave them "the courtesy look", but for some reason I was wrecking the tree... mostly .00x to .02x. Won Thursday gamblers, Saturday main event, and Sunday gamblers!

I've had a lot of caffiene during a race (soda), or not (Gatorade G2, or nothing), and I don't notice any difference in R/T's. 'Course I'm always running at different tracks with different rollouts, so I'm constantly adapting to whatever's thrown my way anyway. Maybe I'm compensating and not noticing.

Also, remember that each person's metabolism and internal chemical processing is different. What works for one person does not necessarily work for others.

Bo, It"s great to hear from you, Toprol is used to lower blood pressure and it's non norcotic, so I don't know why else they would take it. Those guys gotta be careful because of drug testing in nascar and pro golf...

I can't find the link right now, but a Uof FL study in conjunction with U of Michigan Center for Human Behavior showed that a regimen of foods high in antioxidents and phytonutrients improves "alertness" by over 30%. "Alertness" allows better concentration, according to the study.

Two large mugs of coffee, after a night of martinis and bs. And of course Stock is out at 8 AM. Then a nap after first round. Problem Solved

And the young guys are all in a bad mood because they had to get sons early. The old guys are already up because they had to pee about 5:00 am. A couple of big cups of coffee, then pee again after first round.
