Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I get these e-mails too, the most recent ones inviting me to treat "the women in my life" to a tri-training course. Seriously considered the cyclocross thing, but it clashes with something else.

They seem to be a very decent organisation. They were involved with an event I did recently, and it all went very smoothly.

I'm wondering about giving something else a go. Although I have just signed up for pole dancing classes, so there's only so much I can fit in. As it were.

Bloody sexists. I think some chaps in dresses and earrings need to apply.

Oooh, yes, I think you'd like the something else I was referring to. Fancy going on my work Christmas do instead of me?

Maybe 'bloody sexists' are the reason these things exist? Maybe not. Just saying.

Sexism in running, discuss. Could be a dissertation title, if there were much source material. Seriously, is it really that bad that one gender needs to create events for its own lot?

Some ladies certainly feel that way, Frobester. Not me. But some do and it's very real to them.

We have similar problems in the Church of England.
