Curt Sheller's Race Walking World

 

Curt Sheller's Race Walking World (index.shtml) | Updated: 01-Jul-2008 - 23:55

My original Racewalking web pages that where located at:
www.monmouth.com/~csheller/racewalking/ have been "finally" removed. I will be revising them and they will be hosted right here with my curtsheller.com sites. They will be a smaller, more streamlined version.

(Year 2003 update) Some people might be wonder what I've been up to in the past 4-5 years. Well its been hectic since moving back to PA from good old Asbury Park, NJ. I've been throught a few contract programming jobs and yet another downsizing. So I've made the plunge and have become a full time musician. I'm balancing the music gig with teaching guitar and bass (60+ students), started a publishing company and recorded a jazz CD. Check out my new CD at curtsheller.com for the recording part and my jazzguitarresources.com web site for my publishing bit.

Please adjust your bookmarks and links to point to my new site. Thank you and happy walking.

On with the "race walking, marche, marcha, marche olympique, caminata, kapgang, kappgang, gehen, snelwandelen, gang, ..." is brought to you by me Curt Sheller.

Defination: Race Walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg must be straightened (ie., not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until in the vertical position. Disqualification for failure to adhere to the above definition is governed by Rule 39.3.

The full rule can be found by following this USATF Racewalking link: USATF Rules

A world class walker can walk the 20 kilometer Olympic distance averaging 6:20 a mile for the 12.4 miles.

PriorityMail_env.jpg All orders purchased here at CurtSheller.com, JazzGuitarResources.com, UkuleleResources.com UkuleleChords.net and UkuleleForGuitarPlayers.com are processed using a secure shopping cart system and shipped within 48 hours USPS. Allow 7 to 10 business days for delivery. It is not our intention to profit from shipping and handling charges. The rates are an average cost, and intended to cover expenses only. Please do not ask how long it will takes to get your order. All US orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail® or USPS First-Class Mail® (under 1lb) and delivery dates are not predictable. I do not check on an order not received until three weeks have elapsed since it was shipped. Three weeks is not how long it takes to get your order. Rather, it is how long it takes to convince us that something is wrong. Some orders are returned by the USPS and we have to wait to see if that has happened before any action is taken. Thanks, Curt Sheller Publications.
