Olympic Trials #7 in the books!

I raced in the US Olympic Trials last weekend in 50k Racewalk. It was my 7th trials appearance, tying the record set by Hall-of-Fame hammer-thrower, Ed Burke. It's been a tough year, with a persistent high hamstring/piriformis injury putting the kaibosh on my training plans, but I was able to finally find relief in a good chiropractor about three weeks before the trials. I was healed well enough to get through a 31-mile race, but the result was nothing to write home about. Still, I'm looking forward to qualifying for the 20k Trials which will be held along with the rest of Track & Field in Eugene, OR in late June/early July. Thanks for your support over the past 16 years, PowerBar!
