The good old days

Statistics show that the majority of these "new" runners entering marathons are women. In fact, in some large marathons, the majority of the runners (not "walkers" or "staggerers" but RUNNERS) are women. Perhaps this is what really bothers McClelland. He longs for the good old days when race officials physically pulled women off the course. Those early races also had no water stations or toilets. Or is he too manly to need those progressive amenities?
