heh, it was 800m, but an exhibition event. Not a lot of people know, but wheelchair racing is an Olympic exhibition sport. And no, it's not a bunch of racing around the track in a normal wheelchair

For those that don't know, we use stuff like this:

That's the website of a lady I raced against back in 96...I retired when I was 17, though I still think of going back every now and again.
