Don't feel bad, but the window is too short. My time was run 2 years, 5 months early, but would have counted if it were 1 year, 5 months early. Odds on slowing down by 45 minutes in that time?

A better way to put it would be that I ran the time about ten or eleven months prior to the qualifying window.
There's a lot of talk about a 3:30 marathon for women is a weaker standard than a 3:00 marathon for men. And that may be true, but I'm wondering what data people are using to make this gender comparison.
The IAAF scoring tables, one of the standards in comparisons across events and gender, actually show the opposite. A men's 3hr marathon is worth 440 points, while a women's 3h30 is worth 619 points.
Now, the scoring tables are flawed but it would be interesting to know if there was more scientifically accurate method for comparisons. Otherwise it just sounds like a bunch of dudes who know some women who are more talented than they are and qualify off of less training.

Your marathon was almost two and a half years before the race, and you didn't race a marathon after that. I don't think they need to make concessions that someone who is WAY under the standard can have an absurdly long qualifying window.
How are the slower women more pleasant than the faster women?
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
