Yeah, it does sound pretty crazy, but you gotta respect them a lot.
It actually makes sense that a woman has won. It's been proven that, while men may be faster and stronger, a woman in the same comparitive shape has better endurence. The female body was just made to take greater punishment than a man's. We also store more water than men do. Not to mention that when removed from culturally taught notions of pain reaction, women on a whole have a higher pain tolerence. ;-)
Really cool about the age; I hadn't known that. Just goes to show once more that life doesn't end at 35.
