Women not as strong as men.

[David]

Ah! - thought that title would get you here pretty quick!!

So - this myth about men and women and strength and endurance .. over here in the UK there is a long mountainous race up in the Pennines - wild moorland, bleak but beautiful .... so, here is the story of the woman who took the really tough 'man's' race on ....

Jasmin Paris just won the 268-mile Montane Spine Race up in the Pennines, whilst expressing milk at the aid stops for her 14 month old baby .. beat all comers, male and female, and smashed the record by twelve hours! First female to win overall. She trained early mornings whilst her baby and husband were still asleep - and she is 35!! -

Yep. Women definitely not as strong as men

Oh, and she ran with a backpack and 268 miles is well over half the distance from St Jean to Santiago - and she did it in 83 hours!!!

and if you want to see her run -

But if we go metric everyone can get their kicks by driving at 100 kph.

Whew!

I thought your post was going to evoke pugilistic responses.

Well done her!

Thanks for post.

yes, indeed. The weaker vessel.

A woman this last summer shattered the unassisted traverse of the pacific crest trail. 2650 miles in 62 days,including re-supplies and everything else.We can see who is the weaker sex! We have seen the weaker and it is us!

The story of the Donner Party of 1847 in U.S. history is a great example of the strength of women. 10 men and 5 women set out on snowshoe to try to find help. 8 of the 10 men died. All 5 women survived.

Fantasic achievement. Well done to Jasmin Paris. I walked this route many years ago - took me two weeeks. She has done it in just over 83 hours. ---- Respect !

 

[Magwood]

You certainly know how to get attention!

Women frequently have more stamina than men. I have been through a few somewhat tough things, but I hold onto the knowledge that it *will* end, and I can stick it out.

And OF COURSE, this is why I came in here.

And OF COURSE, this is why I came in here. My first thought was, "define stronger" No need...fun post!

 

[musicman]

And I think that last year there were more women than men completing their Camino.
Always find the courage, endurance and company of females on the Camino rewarding and exemplary.

Well done David, the King of Clickbait! Have to agree with you, Jasmin Paris' was incredible and most inspiring.

 

[susanawee]

I totally agree with that statement Six wheeler.

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

Amazing story. Thanks!

I've often thought about the topic of which sex is "stronger" and usually when I get to the idea of trying to carry a baby for 9 months in my stomach (or thereabouts) I usually come up with my answer.

Hats off to women!

In the Caingorn mountain range there is a statistic for survivors in bad weather that show women are more likely to survive than men!

The women ate the men then?

Only the Donner women knew how to cook.
