Hi Harriet, My advice would also be to relax, have a great time, and don't worry at all about getting dq'd. Also, make sure you wear your new flats for a few
Good luck with the race and think more about enjoying the experience. You might want to check and see if tights are allowed as some races will not allow them
Good thoughts, Steve. It is the training that will make you healthy. Dave says, "The race is just the reward for hard training." ... From: STEVE FULP To: Dave
Do not worry about DQ. I got DQ my first race and it just made me try harder. Better to be a bad race walker then no race walking. I have lost 35 pounds
