Mental!

That harness must have rubbed!🤕

2hr30m off the mens so perhaps more to come.
Or perhaps the gradient favours men??

Perhaps you can try and break her record then let us know if it does?

She's an phenomenal athlete!

I'll give it a go on the weekend! 🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't dissing the achievement just the gap seemed larger than I would expect?

The male holder is in the top 10 of VO2 Max ever recorded. I would not use his times as representing superior ability of men. Plus it will be conditions dependent on the day being a bloody high glaciated mountain.

We should celebrate her achievement for what it is, phenomenal.
