    I *think* the events are something like "20K walk" or "10K walk" but go on wiki and look up "racewalking"

    bwahahahahaha!!!! i know right?

    but yeah... it probably takes a lot of heart to not run. its like mind over matter or some shizz.

    but yeah... dude was like... "she's approaching a difficult part now. she'd better slow down" or some shít like that... im like WTF?!?!


    how do you train for this?

    do you run a lot?
    do you walk a lot?
