Does anyone know where I can go to get the results of the US Masters National 15KM Championship held in Riverside on May 27? / Bill / Sat, Jun 30, 2007...
Jeff: You say you've gone to great lengths to not get certified as a racewalk judge, and that you do not want to judge. Why so, grasshopper? You seem to have ...
Allen, I'm resending this because it only went to you. I should have also had a pre-amble. When judging, the judge should observe a "progression of steps" and...

Mo: Thank you for responding with what you look for. You mention a straight line. The word straight is not in the definition. I have tried to get our judges...
I pondered if I should have put the reason in on the last post. Mainly it's selfish. I love photographing and reporting on the race. I would love to do video...
Against better judgement I have now joined the chorus on judging. My spin will be different. No issue with the current national judging issue but with the...

<< Is it that a leg can be straightened and not be straight, possibly ever?>> Mo, In the case of a hyperextended knee, the leg is fully straightened, but is...
It’s confusing to hear that a straightened leg is not necessarily straight. I think, if I understand Gary (and I’ll probably mess this up a little), he ...

I disagree with the assertion that the quads are not contracted when the leg is straightened. The primary purpose of the quads IS to extend the leg at the...
Dr. Gerhardt is of course correct when she says that the quads are contracted to extend the leg. She makes much the same argument that I do that a contracted...

Ann et. al: You are correct, to a point. Yes, the quads contract to straighten the leg, while the leg is advancing, near the end of its swing stage. The key...
I thought I would chime in on this subject. First, I am not going to say anything about the very detailed descriptions given here. That is not relevant to my...
