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.
Fall 2008 update
Back in training Ð yet again!!!. This time I have a goal and some cohorts to help suffer through. I'm shooting for a sub 1:40, slow by my old standards, at the end of the year Polar Bear 10 Miler in Asbury Park, NJ. I've won this race in the past. A lighter, faster past.
You can track my progress on my blog, myracewalking.blogspot.com, as I train for the Polar Bear and ask my self WWBRD (What Would Big Red Do?). "Big Red" is Dave Romansky.
( 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.

What is Race Walking?
Definition: 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.
