It's a shame that the race walk won't be in the upcoming Olympics. No doubt in my mind that it requires an extreme amount of endurance, focus and technique. I have a huge amount of respect for a guy like Evan Dunfee. That guy can race walk a 5 km distance in 18 minutes. Sure they look a little goofy doing it, but it's still an incredibly demanding sport. Also I see him ripping around Richmond all the time. Gonna honk my horn next time I see him!
