THIS!! We consider the shit out of the consequences of our actions and this can cause the mental blockages men dont get, because they dont think about it. Or overthink it if you will.

And this!
When it comes to running around the track, neck and neck, and knowing that to make this turn you have to muscle a buddy off the track, whats a man gonna do? Fuck his buddy and shove him off.
A woman would either back off or reanalyze to see if she could shave just a lil more ahead and make the safe pass without fucking her buddy and running him off because she would see the potential for him hitting that tire wall, or dumping it into the barricade and breaking his neck or back, financial damage to the bike,the EMS and the emergency room all in a split second. No man I've ever talked to has had a single one of these thoughts while racing around the track as fast as he can while as a woman these are constantly running through my head at every moment.
Or the negotiating the turn, hitting it just right, "if i fail to hit it in the sweet spot Im gonna hit the divot, have some shake in the front end, wobble thru the turn, potentially lose the control and momentum I have, run off the track, or slide if I'm in the middle of a turn and my knee gives out while it's the only thing holding my bike off the pavement", etc. And yes, I've done that. "Fuck, took this one wrong, too far over, knee all the way down, keep this fucker from scraping, up up, throttle, power up out of the lean and back upright."
Your minds work like that? And this is all within a few seconds. Just saying.

Gimme a break!!! It ain't like she has to hump a fucking machine gun with a 100-lbs rucksack on her back for 20-miles. Yeah, muscling a sport bike at high speed is tough work, but not so tough that a well physically conditioned woman can't do it.

I agree 100%. Thanks dude for seeing that a woman can do it, FTR, women can do the rucksack shit for miles btw, I'll introduce you guys to my younger sister sometimes. I'd lay my money on her whooping many of you guys asses in a strength contest or a fight.
I think this is badass, she is incredible for doing this and I hope she does well. As far as age, she's in her prime, she can get better from here and keep competeing, 31 aint old.
