In my heydays as a race walker, I joined Nuneaton Harriers as they were the only local club to do race walking and I received some excellent advice and coaching, even competing in some races (we won’t mention the 800m running).
Since my knee injury, I have had to scale back on the walking (and totally knock off any thoughts of running), so I let my membership of the harriers lapse.
This morning, I received an email from the governing body informing me that my registration had expired.
No big shakes but it does mean that should I get back into the race walking (unlikely at the moment) I wouldn’t be able to compete. Like I said, no big deal but I am no longer a (competitive) athlete.
