Wah hoo!

[Alan H]

If you DO THIS.... you don't have to "beat" anybody. You just have to go out there and do your best, and you are a winner. Train hard. Put in the time in the gym. Work with Steven. Don't give up. Bust your )(*&$#%)(*& buttocks, Sue. Don't let some of the attitudes that you WILL run into, stop you. Be strong, not just in your gym time and your body, but in your heart and spirit. You WILL get disrespected by some of the men.

---BUT... If you stick to it, if you work hard, you WILL earn respect.

And don't forget that half of the people watching the athletes are women. Some of those women will roll their eyes at your "antics". But a goodly number of those women will admire you and wish that THEY were trying this, too.

go get 'em, Sue. You GO, girl!
