Well done son. You are a star. However, presumably you, along with the other M16A competitors, would have found little difficulty in running an extra 2.1km? In which case you may be rather wistful that you and the M16A lads could not run the same course as the W18E/W20E girls? Or was that a bit far for them, and should they, infact, have been running your 5.7km course? You know it's not that long ago (about thirty years) that attitudes like yours meant that women weren't allowed to run the marathon. How would you go about explaining Paula Radcliffe being Britain's fastest marathon runner of 2003, if women are not "built" properly?
