What would be worse: being an elite race walker, or one of these fringe Olympic Marathon trials participants who have to do wacky stunts for publicity in order to attract embarrassing sponsorships to eke out a few bucks?
like a Michael Wardian type. Or the guy who pushed his kid in a stroller for a "world record" time at a half marathon recently.
I'd rather be the elite race walker. At least then you are elite at something. Plus, you could rent a batman costume and just crush the record for race walking in costume.
