It's the difference between men and women that keep us going ;)<BR/><BR/>Notice I said different, not worse. I personally think women endurance athletes are better then men in the long term because they don't leave their brains behind when they train and are less likely to repeatedly make the same mistakes like my sex are inclined to.<BR/><BR/>While I am playing devils advocate if this phrase really was used implying women are delicate little flowers who need protected I would definately be as angry as you because generally the only thing I have ever had to protect the women in my life from was men, certainly not hard work and dedication which the average women is well blessed with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-52246529320260023282007-08-19T21:22:00.000-07:002007-08-19T21:22:00.000-07:00"Bevan asks, "Like what?

Like that delicate flower Pam Reed, you know, the dainty flower who won the Badwater 135, purhaps the hardest foot race on earth, beating all of the toughest men in the world...not once but twice! Yes, those delicate women.<BR/><BR/>If I had a nickel for every woman who passed me in a race I could retire now.
