Incredible! That's not 20 facts, that's a True Hollywood Story! What was your event? Or is that asking for 21 answers?

[Bendless Love]

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.

Wow, those look like Ferraris, not wheelchairs.

I'm very impressed! You have MUCH to be proud of.

Thank you. I've done a lot of sports in neat little contraptions. My husband took me on a ski trip last xmas, and got me lessons on a sit ski and everything up on a Glacier in the alps. It was beautiful! My first time snow skiing! I nearly gave my instructer a heart attack because I was going too fast and down hills that were too steep. I somehow ended up skiing backwards in the halfpipe, and taking an A+ spill at the bottom of a black slope hill. Luckily I escaped injury. At any rate...I am by now way off topic, and in my 'zombie rambling mode.'
