Thank your to @trackcoachmjr and @allenjames_oly for the encouragement & connecting me w/ Coach Loubna @coach_hasseine 🙌! I’m a longtime racewalking fan too & can’t wait to join my beloved friends & the racewalking community 🤗. Let’s dream big cause that’s what we do 🌟! 🧵/End
Geez that hits hard- time waits for no one ⏳. I’m under no illusion how difficult it is. I’ve been a longtime fan. They go crazy fast, walking 🔥. I have to try and go all in 👊.
Believing it is step 1 to achieving it 💫!
New hashtag ➡️ #walkwithcamille . 3/🧵
I thought about trying racewalking back in 2012-2013- even tried to teach myself on the treadmill w/ mirrors & watching technique videos.
I forgot about trying it again, & then Mike Roth mentioned it a few wks ago. This may be my last shot to make the Olympics #LA2028 🚀🌖! 2/🧵
Here goes Camille 3.0 - walk to the moon 🦸♀️🚀🌖!
I have’t been this excited about something since I was encouraged to try Ultrarunning! 1/🧵
Talked to my new sports coach and have goosebumps for our new project 🔜! Prepare to launch Camille 3.0- make it to #LA2028 🦸♀️🚀🌖!
Yasss do it Adam! I got a bunch of inspiring shirts 💫!
I felt like I had a full circle moment in the class of remembering who I’ve always been, who I wanted to be, and staying authentic to the girl on the left 💖👧🏻! This girl is still in me- with big goals and dream but most importantly being a good human 💫✌️.

It made me realize how much I care about them as people and want to support and empower them to be their amazing selves 🦄✨✨. This experience has shaped my ambitions going forward and leaning into advocacy for human and disability rights ⏭️.

As I finished up my class presentation yesterday, the biggest thing I got out of the experience is how inspired I was getting to know my classmates, who are Autistic and neurodivergent like me 💫🌈🧠.
2/🧵
I’ve taken several wks off from training to focus on my health and wellbeing, completing my course, and lots more that’s fried my brain/nervous system 🫠.
1/🧵
I just finished listening to my latest podcast with Seth Hill on Stupid Questions. We went pretty deep and talked about a lot of existential stuff, who I am, near death experiences, marriage, spiritual beliefs, neurodivergence, life purpose, & more! Enjoy!

Happy Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month 🙌🌈🎧🧠!
I wrote a new blog post! I’ve been inspired being in an education program with other Autistic people 💫. We communicate differently, and there’s a mutual understanding of everyone in the program how we’re different & encouraged to express ourselves 💡.

Here’s a throwback clip with @richroll.bsky.social talking about how losing our home to a tornado in high school shifted my spirituality & started running long on Sunday’s to celebrate my life and gift for running 🕊️!
Thank you Lory 💕🙌🦸♀️🚀!
My ultimate goal is still ahead of me- going further to break a men’s World Record. Believing it is step 1 to achieving it 👊!
Whether it happens in 6 days or if I have to go even further- the magic lies in me 🦄✨.
END/🧵
I hope being openly AuDHD encourages other disabled and neurodivergent humans to embrace their human diversity 🦄.
📷 In 2023 @scmtny , I became the first woman to set an outright American Record when I ran my 48-hour World Record 🔝.
8/🧵
I can keep competing at the highest level in ultrarunning, while being openly known as a disabled athlete. I’m inspired by this 🕊️, while knowing I can inspire others and beyond sports as well 💫.
7/🧵
Now I understand that my human differences, the way I experience the world, are also my gifts 🚀🌖.
Today I can embrace every part of myself and be visibly AuDHD 🌈🧠.
6/🧵
I never saw the limits most of the world perceives- because my brain & nervous system are different.
I flash back a lot during races being a girl practicing 🏀 in the driveway & heat until I’d black out. This mindset is hardwired in me- push to a “near death” experience.
5/🧵
My disabilities didn’t just shape my work ethic. They shaped my values and character- to be kind, caring, and stand up for myself and others 🦸♀️.
I’ve struggled extraordinarily hard in life, but I’ve also always had a mindset without barriers 🌈☁️.
4/🧵
Whether it was school, my job, training, or racing- I worked painstakingly hard 🔨🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️.
This work ethic helped carry me through 116,000+ lifetime running miles so far, rain or shine 👊.
3/🧵
I thought I had overcome my childhood disability and speech difficulties. I didn’t realize that all this time I was actually Autistic/ADHD 🌈🧠.
I didn’t understand why things felt harder. I just thought I had to work extra hard and be extra persistent 😤.
2/🧵
I’ve broken barriers in time, distance, and wins from 50 miles to 6 days.
However breaking sports barriers isn’t what I’m most proud of.
It’s that I did it all, and everything in my life, as a disabled human 🥹.
1/🧵
My recent podcast with Josh Rosenthal on Borderland Trailrunning is also on Youtube! He asked so many great questions and reflecting on races during my career. I felt re-inspired remembering 💫. I love our sport ⛰️🏃♀️!

I did an in-depth Q&A with Neurotribe about my lived experiences and finding out I’m late-diagnosed as Autistic/ADHD 🌈🧠.
I’m grateful to Emilia at Neurotribe for asking such thoughtful questions so I could explain my human differences 🦄.

Thank you so much Nora Bird for the lovely card and welcoming me back to the Mad City 100km 🙌💯! I ran my first 100km there in 2015 in 7:26 and got down to 7:08 to win the World Championship 🥇🇺🇸.
I think it’s a great project & see if I can crack sub 7 hrs 🔨👷♀️!
Been hooked on Bad Bunny lately as my warmup music- good stuff 💃!
