You clock in at 200lb?!!
I bet you have fun at the games...
I am not a sexist individual and I have been out climbed/skiied/run/swim/shot(bullseye) (I lay waste to all (so far) on my road and mtn bike) by females. I am not a bumbly at any of these. I really didn't have a problem with it. I was beat by them fairly, they were hard women... They schooled me just like the guy they schooled yeterday.... I have never had to go up against a woman in a combative sport like football. If I got my ass handed to me by a girl... Two things would happen... I would seriously take a look at my labs/diet/training plan... Hehe.. I would also try and get a date... If I ever had to up and get beat down again, I could say "Aw man, I gotta let her win or I'll really get it later"... And not have to feel so bad... Man I wouldn't know what to say otherwise...
Hard to beat that kind of genetics...

On carry... I would love to never carry for defensive purposes, unfortunatley down in southern NM where I currently reside it is better to have than not... When I lived in Santa Fe and also Taos, I never carried. It's funny but I actually feel the safest when unarmed, way up in the backcountry taking runs down the hills with a buch of friends.. I carry an Avvy beacon instead... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
