I am getting excited about my Australian Centurion Race in five weeks. I have trained hard. Much harder than I did for my U.S. Centurion race. I feel great. That is not the reason for my excitement. It is getting to share the Track with other Centurions. Some of the best long distance walkers in the world. I am inspired by watching other Centurions Race.  These folks have also chewed the pavement training. They have survived the race, felt the pain, enjoyed the success.

Australia will be well represented with Australian Centurions.  Michelle Thompson holds every female walking race record in Australia up to her age. Every new age group she enters She breaks the records.  Will be fun to watch her zip past every few laps.  Clarrie Jack will be looking to add to his many walking records. He is now racing in the 70 year age group.  John Kilmartin is a double Centurion with Australian and British Centurion Badges. John has been a mentor to me in my Centurion quest. John is faster than I am. Can not wait to meet him and watch his walking form.

The Netherlands will be represented by a pair of Double Badge Centurions. Sandra de Graaff and Albertus van Ginkel. Both are Continental and British Centurions. I raced last summer with two Dutch racers. I expect to be equally awed by Sandra and Albertus.

There are several other top Australian walkers in the field. Excited. Going to be Fun!
