In San Francisco for the past 5 years Nike Women's Marathon has been bringing women together from around the world. This is in fact the largest women's marathon. Runners who complete either the half o ...

There was an interesting story last year too. Because the standard of the Nike Women's Marathon is not that high, runners who finish in more than 3 hours could still run as elites. There was a g ...

I heard about that too, it was a joke! And Nike didn't post the offical results in their website until more than a month later. Bad !!!

In HK, the female runner ratio is even lower than 20%. I notice that in most races the ratio is only about 15% or less. As a female runner myself, I also encounter the problems most female runners h ...

That's very true. It is more dangerous for women to run alone, even in the US. When I see a woman running by herself in early morning or late evening in a secluded trail, she usually runs with a big dog. In HK, you probably would need to find a few friends to run together, which is not always very easy.
There are also several reasons why there are more women runners here in the US. A big reason is that there are those charity running organizations and those charity runners are primarily women. And also because of a law (title x or title xi?), all the universities have to spend similar amount of $ on collegiate varsity sports. So, if they pay scholarships to get a man runner, they may have to do the same thing to have a women team. So, women can get into some universities free of charge if they play sports well.

Were you bothered by them? On RW online, some runners said they were irritated by the TNT folks because they ran 4 people wide to block the whole course, they cut in line to use the bathroom, etc ...

Not really, the TNT runners never bother me, The ones that really get on my nerve are the Students Run LA kids at the LAM. BTW, I have a TNT friend doing the Vineman full Ironman up in Sonoma now.

TNT and Ironman are probably a little rare. So, wish your friend good luck!
My swimming is still a problem. I always wanted to try a sprint triathlon. Unfortunately, if I do swim 800m, I may h ...

Oh come on George, you can do it. The TNT dude doing the Ironman now is actually a member of this forum but he hasn't posted for quite awhile. I just checked, he just finished his bike ride and is ...
