Don't be fooled. It's one of the most taxing events you can do. I'm in nowhere near good enough shape to do it.

Back when I was a distance runner and a well conditioned athlete in numerous grueling sports, I was tricked into entering a walking race. I did very, very badly and for the next three days, my muscles hurt so badly that I thought my butt cheeks would fall off.

And you don't even have the benefit of being cool while you're competing, because you can only look like a pansy when racewalking.

Don't let them scare you. You'll get something nice out of this I'm sure. Like a really toned behind.
