SEXISM IN ELITE SPORTS
- A woman cyclist caught up with the men and they made her stop during the race
- In Belgium
- Only gave them 10 minute head start
- She wound up finishing 74th because they made her stop when she was leading to give the men more room, and she lost her momentum
- At the end of the day, while we have made progress, there is still some unfairness in Ultra Sports
- When women got as good as men at double trap, Olympics was going to cut out the women’s event
- Olympics committee kept saying no, but had so much pressure that they brought it out
- However, they brought it down to 160 while men were shooting 200
- Olympics committee kept saying no, but had so much pressure that they brought it out
- Marathons do this, too
- Send off elite women x number of minutes before the men
- If you catch up to the women there’s a money grab
FAT ADAPTED SURVIVAL
- People can benefit from being fat adapted if they then are forced to fast
- For example, people on Survivor should get fat adapted before going on the show
- The tiny bit of rice won’t throw you out of ketosis, especially if you parcel it out over the day
- These people go into ketosis eventually anyway, but better to start in ketosis so you don’t deal with keto flu on the island
- Electrolytes are a lot harder
