I never scoff at women that are "thicker" (I'm one now anyway since I hit the mid 40's) I have been beaten by so many "thicker" women, I know that you don't have to be stick thin to be fit and meaner than he- - !

You did a great job! That race would do me in!

Don't let them get to you at those races, half of that stuff, is just posturing anyway. Those ladies have to make themselves feel better about themselves cause they have no self-confidence. They are trying to psych you out!

People play games that race, they make excuses before the race starts, they make fun of others, etc. etc. It is a coping mechanism for them. Just ignore that stuff, they don't know any better, they're just nervous and scared.
