My coach shared this on the Raleigh Walkers Facebook group. This was the last time I raced in that red shirt; I now have a white jersey with frays betraying the fact there used to be sleeves, until I cut them off. If I broke any USATF rules in the process, WHOOPS! I did tell my coach I'd be doing it and he said nothing indicating it was a bad idea

That looks so cool! I'd not seen you race before or seen any real race-walking. It looks like a lot of training goes into it. You were really moving!
My sister and I did a 5K recently that turned out to be on a woodland trail when we were expecting pavement! LOL That was an experience! Totally different and totally out of my comfort zone.

Yeah, definitely requires a lot of training, I wish I'd done more! Well, maybe next year I'll place and get prize money! Just need to work even harder is all- last year was recovering ground, now I need to go where I've never been in speed!
