To Athena, or Not to Athena...

[Veronica]

I raced Athena last year in two of my races and was thrilled to place. Do it! It's fun to get the plaques or medals or whatever.

I don't see it as "taking a win" from someone. The race rules say 150 pounds. That means any chick who weighs more than 150 pounds - even if it's 150.1- can choose to race Athena. It doesn't matter why you weigh more than 150 or how much over you are. Heck, if I still weighed enough, I'd race Athena. Some of those super fast chicks weigh less than my lean body mass of 116 pounds. But I'm down to 146, so no Athena for me.
