I like to look at statistics. Below are some numbers I pulled from the data on Milliseconds Sports Timing. I used the data sets from the all-male and all-female sorts on the Leadville results page. That means the mixed tandem team data is not included in numbers below.

I’m interested in what kept the women from showing up to the start line. You can post your comments here on Active, on Facebook or send me a private message at gale@galebernhardt.com
If you know of women that didn't make it to the start, please forward this post to them - thanks.
