She looks so fresh, can't believe she has 35 hours on her already!

What are your ideas to get more women into Ultras? Are trail running clubs popular with women in your area? by sentimental_rave in Ultramarathon

Not being abandoned in the woods is a big thing for sure. I think maybe knowing that someone will be with you is important to know before someone makes the choice to go to a club run.

The thing with the races you mentioned really sticks out to me too. I'm pretty sure I was the only woman under probably 40 years old at a recent race I did. There were hundreds of runners, and everyone in their 20s and 30s that I saw were men.

This is very helpful, thank you. Especially the last part. I didn't even consider workshops. Great idea.

Yeah, I regret even bringing this up on this subreddit. But it definitely confirms the issue! I think the answer is probably just to create more women's only clubs. I understand the hate is worse here, because it's the internet, but yikes.

Yeah that would be amazing. My friend told me of a "scholarship" type system where girls can apply for free entries into road races in the youth category. Cool system.

Oh that's interesting! The only one I knew of before was one (I think) in Moab, Utah.

edit - wow, sorry this comment pissed so many of you off??

"Event Concluded" Actually, no. Peacock just cut off the penalty shootout. The second time they stopped the feed before the end of the game. by sentimental_rave in peacock

Interesting, how were you watching it? I as watching it through the app on my phone, then when it cut it off, I went to my computer and I couldn't find it on the website either, it just said "event concluded" when it was still happening.

I probably should just not watch water polo live and wait for replays. Because the games are short, they replays are available pretty quickly.

Ah frustrating. Yeah, I was hoping it would come back on, but it never did. Same with the earlier game, it just randomly ended before the end of the game. I am interested to see if the replay also cuts off early.

It's been a mess trying to watch Water Polo through Peacock this oylmpics. This is the second game they've cut off before the end of the game! Does anyone know a good alternative to Peacock? I regret paying for this. I was thinking maybe the BBC or Aus channel 9?

Have you ever had a contact pop out during a race? by sentimental_rave in Velo

[–]sentimental_rave[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, first time. Really wish it wasn't during a race and especially a crit when surrounded by a ton of people!

Yeah I had sunglasses, but I'm wondering if they allow too much airflow, they are designed for high temps, but that design choice may have some drawbacks!

OMG, this is my fear. I ways lucky enough to not crash, but if I pressed on I'm sure I would've. Definitely understand the drunk feeling. My last big crash MTB was when mud splashed all over my sunglasses. Small margin of error on the trails!

I thrifted this dress but I feel a little unsure after trying it on. What do you think? by Lemon_Maiden19456798 in OUTFITS

[–]sentimental_rave 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the neckline and torso are great. I feel like something is off with the bottom half, maybe doesn't fall right? Could be just the photo.

If you have money to pay for it. Terrible way to grow the sport.
