i have always had a pretty easy time avoiding it. but when that vid of the women race walking auto-loaded i just about spit out my coffee. it is so damn funny looking.
I used to teach middle school, and the start of that race looks like a bunch of 7th graders trying to get to the lunch line first. that is EXACTLY how they move when they are trying to get somewhere fast without getting in trouble for running in the hall.
i know it's been done to death...but HOW is this a sport??
