10k radio broadcast: LETSRUN IS SOOO SEXIST

i agree with what you are saying but deena was far from sub 31 minute pace. the first kilometer was 327 and after that she was hitting 307's. even 307 per km is not sub 31 pace.

I bet you like the below the rim action of the WNBA as well, huh sport?

The women runners are fabulous athletes and I applaud their efforts. SOME ARE FASTER THAN ME.

Unfortunately for you, most men, like the BroJos, don't find an event where these ladies run times EASILY bested by above average high school boys that terribly interesting.

The same is true for your beloved WNBA. My high school boys basketball team would be perennial league champions.

And speaking of below the rim action, your post clearly demonstrates that you are either gay yourself, or...not straight.

Good luck.

gay jokes are really funny, man. i guess i'm not an average guy..

and you're right, deena was far from 31 min pace, but at some point somebody in the jumbled broadcast said she was; at least, i think i heard that. but who knew cause they didnt talk about the race until the last mile..

you are definately not an average guy. average guys like women. we just don't like to watch them compete in athletics. that is unless they are very attractive. i'm just being honest, sorry.

I'm a guy and I pay attention to women's running, albiet less than the guys. I think that the reason I didn't care about the women's 10k tonight is simply the fact that no one can even come close to competing with Deena. I'm not trying to knock the other women because they really do compete on a high level, but come on! Deena was dealing with cancer a few months ago and she still runs away with the title like its a tempo run. The guys race was exciting because there were 5 or more guys who all had a very legit shot at the title and we didn't know who was going to win until 800 to go.

This being said, Kastor is one of my running role models and I really admire here approach to training, racing and life. I'll get as excited about the USATF women's 10k when there are 5 Deenas out there.

Maybe it's an age thing, but I'm over 25, by quite a bit, and I'd rather watch the women race any day.

I clicked this because I thought it said "LETSRUN IS SOOO SEXY" at first. But anyway, I don't think it's sexist. There just wasn't that much action in the women's race with Deena way out in front.

You, on the other hand, are the epitome of straightness. Watching closely as a bunch of sweaty men wearing next to nothing continually turn left.

You're obviously dreaming of some bizarro letsrun.

Most broadcasts, tv or radio, are going to focus on the front pack...wether it's men or women. If a runner is out front like that there is going to be less reporting on the rest of the pack. It could be the most famous guy runner in the middle of the pack and they won't be mentioned. I think letsrun is awsome for even putting up something like a radio broadcast. and to have some jobber on a message board criticize them for how they did it. bullcrap

I say thanks letsrun for doing it.

I guess that makes me an above average guy, because I can appreciate their efforts and performances just as much as the men's.

To the OP: You think this is news? This site is nothing if not a vehicle for bias-driven and prejudiced agendas. Notice the heavy Amerocentrism and exclusion of D2, D3, NAIA, etc., etc., etc. This is a site run by small, petty people.

You're right, I forgot to give props for doing the broadcast in the first place. It was great, and I love the Brojos.

The point is true about how it wasn't a super exciting race, regardless of the gender of the runners. But I guess I still would have liked a little more acknowledgement of what was going on on the track. That's not to say cut out the chats with the athletes and coaches though.. so hell, do what you gotta do -- and what is most interesting.

just respek the ladies.

I was at a coffee shop listening to the broadcast and forgot my headset. Then some guy asked me to turn it down. I told him it was at a conversation volume, and other customers are talking. He just said "okay" and sat back down.

The barriers to T&F coverage are endless.

Well, so what? What's wrong with bein sexy?

we need more diversity on this board, so we will now have rainbow Satch the gay miler- chow

This is such a PC, bullshit increasingly popular statement in running circles it makes me sick.

Anytime there is a race of any distance or level someone uses this sentence to take the emphasis off what they are really trying to say.

"While I think they are fabulous athletes and I applaud their efforts in their 2 hour 5k, I really wish the 400lb retarded guys would stop lining up with the 15 minute guys."

Yeah, it is pretty hot.
