I get these e-mails too, the most recent ones inviting me to treat "the women in my life" to a tri-training course. Seriously considered the cyclocross thing, but it clashes with something else.

They seem to be a very decent organisation. They were involved with an event I did recently, and it all went very smoothly.

I'm wondering about giving something else a go. Although I have just signed up for pole dancing classes, so there's only so much I can fit in. As it were.

Bloody sexists. I think some chaps in dresses and earrings need to apply.

Oooh, yes, I think you'd like the something else I was referring to. Fancy going on my work Christmas do instead of me?

Maybe 'bloody sexists' are the reason these things exist? Maybe not. Just saying.

Sexism in running, discuss. Could be a dissertation title, if there were much source material. Seriously, is it really that bad that one gender needs to create events for its own lot?

Some ladies certainly feel that way, Frobester. Not me. But some do and it's very real to them.
