Race Walking


I think many of us are in agreement that racewalking is the stupidest thing we have ever seen. Well, have you ever wondered what a racewalker would do if attacked by a gang of sword wielding ninjas? Would he racewalk away or flat out run away? The Japanese, known for their wonderful treadmill and human tetris game shows, are here to give us the answer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WFkCjQAltc

I don't know how old this video is, but it is new to me. Sorry to clog this board with not so important topics, but I couldn't resist. Make sure you guys read the more important posts below, like running on Sunday, racing at Veterans Day, or the Olympic Trials.

Be honest - how long did it take you to find a picture of a walking chick?

Actually not long. If you go to google and search the term "race walking" and click on images, it is on the first page. According to the website where the picture came from, the choice of a duck "was not by chance as the Coat of Arms of Cheboxary (the venue holding the Vth European Cup of Race Walking) has ducks on its face." There is your interesting tidbit of the day.
