IMWI - Hilary's running style

Interesting. I have a structural issue with one of my feet and so I can't rotate it forward properly, like push off straight, it always rolls out to the side and is kind of floppy. It's very very easy to spot when you watch me run. I need to find video or a pic...maybe there's hope for me afterall (has caused some injury issues, but we seem to have them under control - fingers crossed) .

She was a breaststroker for many years--collegiate at USC. Part of the unusual gait pattern. May also be related to her hip fracture during IMNZ.

The coaches who attempted to "fix" it generally made her running slower and worse.

Easy.... 

In her early years, it was used to kick underaged boys to the curb.

Now, it's a weapon. No wonder she didn't get passed.

Tis true. No matter how you throw down the time, throw it down. Just be fast.

Although in some corner of the earth, Bob Stocks really, really wanted to accompany Hillary on that run. He could have, too.  

She did get passed.  She lost the lead with about 5 miles to go and when I went by her going the other way she was bout 30 seconds down.  She looked in major pain and  I thought there was no way she would win.  I was amazed to hear she did it.

It wasn't happening in Louisville this year but Placid next year!! I'm all over it!!

Here is a shot of the leg kick...IF i can get this to work

Not working.....try tomorrow.

pseudoyams - 2008-09-08 9:39 PM A friend of mine is friends w/ her and her family.  Apparently she had some hip problems at some time or another, and thats where it stems off from.  It is really weird though.  I was running behind her for a while during the race and was in a trance watching her foot flip out like that.

AND THEN YOU PASSED HER!!! Nice job once again!!
