The difference in GFA times between males and females is skewed - should be no more than 20 minutes to be "fair". It's based on numbers, not comparative difficulty.
Well, the original wager was simply based on time, because our pb's are very similar, but I don't mind either way, I am happy to leave that up to D2D? I am 48, I have the heart and lungs of a 25 year old and the liver of a corpse.
I'm sure someone more technical can explain why, but I also find it very hard to run slow during the week after a 5K or 10K. I am capable of running an awful lot faster for no apparent extra effort. Personally, I always concentrate on keeping the pace back to where it shoud be. (Going out and running a Half distance in a "PB" time the day after a 5K, and the week after a previous Half "PB" sounds like the fastrack to injury method)
If I see you at Stratford, I shall definately be calling you Devoted2Distance when I say hello. K**y just sounds all wrong.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe i read that D2D's time is 3:45, and puffys is 3:46, so theres really no difference.
But 3:45 for a male of mature years and 3:46 for a young female are different when you adjust for age and sex?
You're comparing apples and oranges innit.
I agree, but not if you go by London good for age places,
Women 18-49 sub 3.45
Men 41-59 sub 3.15!!!
The London GFA qualification time for older blokes is a joke, innit?
The london quali time for all ages is a joke!
I'm looking forward to being 70.... in 34 yrs time...

I wonder if my next race will drum up so much interest on this forum?
hmmmmmmmm............ thought not!
You've got the youth, the looks, now you want a head start!
Either - old pb minus new pb, simple figures
or - time on 25th adjusted to that WAVA thing that JB knows.
I would be happy for a 3rd party to check all the figures, 2 if you like.
ooh I don't know, now you've impressed him with your 5K.........
He can train me to be 1st LV40 in my next race!
Alius iacta est.
Would you like to nominate a referee? Someone who will verify previous times and monitor results on race day and promise not to use real names?
D2D.. don't know if you are still planning on running tomorrow, but best of luck. Let us know your time..
