If "Dee" is indeed female -- "she'd" win most of the races here in NY by a 
margin of minutes. An 85% performance could pass for elite, depending on the 
difficulty of the course. We've had races in central park where elites 
participated (you'd know their names) and once you're in the high 80s, you
stand a reasonable chance of beating several of them.

However, I'd consider it somewhat more probable that "Dee" is actually male,
there are considerably more males posting with female names than there are
females who run elite times.

Either way, these times are quite impressive, and the steady improvement 
resulting from smart training is inspiring. It's made me rethink my approach
to training and made me consider racing less frequently.
