Walk racing has become a passion of mine over the last four years and today I won my third gold in this event. The only year I didn't win the gold was two years ago and I won silver because I got lazy at the end and lost by 2 seconds, that won't happen again. Really, really windy day and much of the race was on the super speedway track at Las Vegas motor speedway. Considered not walking this year due to the upcoming Hurricane half-marathon in a few days and the stress that walk racing can put on your shins and hips. Didn't seem to have any ill effects from the race so I am glad I did it and once again the team took the gold medal for the walk race event. woo hoo!! |
