Does being tall give you an advantage?

Those of you that are tall, but say you are slow..... ...I think you would be even slower if you were short. Uh.....that would be me. :wave:

I Being 6’3” with an 84” arm span should give me sprinting advantages. Wow - is that a typo? 84" is seven feet.

If one more person mentions NASCAR in reference to a "sport", I think I'm going to puke. I would categorize synchronized swimming as having more true elements of a "sport" than NASCAR. John Smith I wasn't meaning to refer to it as a sport. I was responding tongue in cheek to a Geek post. He likes his NASCAR, as you'll soon see. So no need to puke. Uh, syncronized swimming is pretty hard though.

If one more person mentions NASCAR in reference to a "sport", I think I'm going to puke. You catch the Martinsville race last weekend?

My arm span is 6ft...for a girl that's crazy. I was thrilled when the extra long sleeves was in fashion for girls. Things actually fit me. I feel your pain for not finding things that fit. My inseam is 35", too bad it's hard to find any pants that are long enough. When I find some, I buy in bulk. I'm also convinced my legs are too long for me to kick well. They're always getting tangled up with each other. I'm 5'2" with a 5'6" wingspan ... also VERY fun finding clothes.

Those of you that are tall, but say you are slow..... ...I think you would be even slower if you were short. And I think you're being rude, no matter what size you are. People are as tall or short as they are and have to swim with what they've got. Period. Hasn't this been discussed to death now?:dedhorse::dedhorse::dedhorse:

We need to cut lose the Carolinas, Mississippi and Alabama and set them a drift in the Atlantic. They can compete as individual nations for the NASCAR world championships. John Smith I'll give it up for Smith, comedy gold there. I'm gonna take Georgia with us also, love them dawgs.

Not a typo, 7 foot arm span. Buying shirts and suits off-the-rack is not an option. My arm span is 6ft...for a girl that's crazy. I was thrilled when the extra long sleeves was in fashion for girls.
