Moneywise, everything comes from friends and family. My family, especially, are the ones who understand what I'm all about. There are a lot of limitations in terms of training, but I try not to think about that. I think about what I have to do to grow as a person. There are a lot of misconceptions about race walking.
People make judgements about it without trying it.
That's maybe because distance events are difficult in Canada because of the weather - people don't want to do a 20km walk in the winter. But I'm also happy when people ask that because it gives me a chance to explain the event. The hips look like that because they're moving very fast. Canadians are beginning to hear about Huerta and race-walking, though, as he breaks records at home and gets encouraging results abroad. That record gives just some indication of how much he's improved since his first race in Those 1992 trials.
