Theron Kissinger is a solid 50K walker and veteran of many US international teams. Walking with a smile, even under the most grueling conditions, Kissinger never gives in to the heat, fellow competitors, or the distance.

Theron Kissinger's lollypop wasn't enough to battle the heat and distance; he supplemented with gels and fluids as well.
