    ....I assure you it is possible to regulate it. They have numerous judges and generally the courses loops around on itself a lot (if it is not an actual track).

  3. Tyler is a hell of a competitor and a hell of a nice kid. Race walking might look a little nutty, but I assure you-the guys who do it competitively are serious athletes. I think the American indoor racewalk mile record is 5:38-most rec RUNNERS couldn't bust out a 5:38...
