Hi All,
I did some analysis of the Ironman Arizona swim, the 2011 1-Hour Postal Swim results, and the 1-Hour Postal Swim world records.
This link includes a chart comparing performance between men and women in those events. www.watergirl.co/.../how-big-gender-gap-swimming.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys have to say on the subject.
I'm not there yet, but many of my older female swimming buddies also tell me that menopause significantly affects muscle mass and therefore speeds drop off significantly after hitting that point, which happens to be ~50.
