Dow walks in Beijing — but won’t miss daughter’s journey
From USATF: “In the women’s 20 km race walk, Team USA’s 44-year-old, first-time Olympian Joanne Dow (Manchester, N.H.) walked the fastest time by an American woman ever in international competition. The mother of two placed 31st in 1:34:15, behind winner Olga Kaniskina of Russia (1:26:31), Kjersti Tysse Platzer of Norway (1:27:07) and Elisa Rigaudo of Italy (1:27:12) on the medal stand. Dow will depart on Thursday for the U.S., and on Tuesday morning she and her family drive from Manchester, N.H. to Philadelphia to take her oldest daughter, Hannah, to her first day of college at the University of Pennsylvania.” What a Mom!
