Shhhh...I'm just messing around. I don't care about what's her name. I just wish that they would acknowledge that a 43rd place at the Suzuka 8 hour wouldn't mean crap if it were a guy the did it.

what if it were me? Would it not have meant crap if I did it?

Simply finishing is a feat in itself.

I would have meant something to you of course, but would you expect world wide renown and laborious accolades extolling your greatness? Oh and I'm sorry but if I run the Boston marathon and finish 5 hours after the winner, I won't be expecting front page news stories... I'm not exactly sure why finishing an eight hour race when you're part of a multi rider team is so amazing...for all we know, the guys may have even carried her...btw what year was she in it? Heck, last year only 47 teams or so finished.
