Guest Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 What length triathlons are you training for...alot of pro women that aren't tall purposefully keep from getting lean. Men can't seem to get away with it but women are very good at that. I raced against the NCAA triathlon champ in a bike race and she definately suprised me with how well she did since she finished 6th in a short distance race with a bunch of really lean guys.
