Ah, the decathlon and heptathlon—they use these complex conversion tables, each performance in an event gets a points score. A better time or longer jump means more points, all added up. But those tables... they always felt a bit cruel, because my personal best in the javelin at the state meet gave me a points boost that *still* left me just shy of selection. The math is fair, but the memory of missing by those calculated points makes my old knee ache in the rain.
