Riverhead=league champs!

Nice job girls! I remember how epic it was when my team got it when I was an ickle freshie and again when I was a senior- the latter especially amazing because we beat the team that everyone always says couldn’t be beaten, Bay Shore! Bay Shore never lost a dual meet before I was a senior and hasn’t lost one since. Anyhow, AMAZING! I’m glad to see a racewalker got in too, nice job Denise!

Of Letdowns and Racewalking

The beauty of racewalking is that I do not have to worry about other people letting me down when it comes to performance. My fate is wholly up to me, myself, and I. I do not have to rely on others to get things done. It’s just me and my courage, guts, perseverance, resilience, dedication, will to remain tenacious when I encounter obstacles, strength physical and mental, endurance and attention to the finer nuances (or lack thereof).

In racewalking, I make my own fate, and nobody else gets a say but me. I decide how I cope with external circumstances and happenings. I do not have to worry about failure as collateral damage caused by others’ shortcomings. I determine my own performance.
