Ladies, ladies, ladies

A couple of seasons ago and earlier it was the ultimate shame for the top male racers to get "chicked" in a race. More often than not the top female racers would set times that would firmly place them in the top ten of the male times. Since then either the male racers have upped their game or the female racers have slipped back. On some runs the females have barely scraped into the top thirty male times or the top twenty on combined times.

Unfortunately few races see the majority of top female competitors go head to head which may not keep all the competition on their toes. With low start numbers at some races we need to encourage more female racers into the sport.

Let's hope the girls can raise their game and close the gap as we head towards the zero point races.
