not being very good at something doesn't prove that you haven't got an unfair advantage though, does it?

Its Catch 22 then.  If I'm good then I have an unfair advantage, if I'm not as good, then I still have an unfair advantage. (LOL)

LOL

presumably you do have an advantage in racing against women though?  (unless you're as crap as me or oxy)

That's the argument that the UKAA always bring out when a woman such as me comes long. (LOL).


No advantage. 

About average female muscelature, but with a heavier sceletal mass.  Result..?  Best I can manage is about halfway up my catagory - or slightly above halfway on a really good day.

Ask any of the girls that I train with about unfair advantage and they'll laugh.

Is that reading the daily Mail, or....?

Although as a Trans Woman, ironically the two main groups that I get crap from these days, are Gay men and the UKAA...

Not sure what to make of that.....(LOL)

That's a date for sure.

Last time there were plenty of Loos, plus Trade Stands, Food, WATER, and a great atmosphere.

We even had a post-race picnic in Sefton Park.

Hopefully we'll do that all again next year.

Hope to see you there...

Yes there is always a queue for the loo, but not a queue this size..!

The race itself was good, apart from the odd bottle-necks, but you always get those.
Nice and flat with the potential for a PB.

Why couldn't it have been as well organised as the Liverpool Ladies 10K..?

That was brilliant. And one that I'll definately be doing again.
