 A girl came in 30th in Leadville last weekend with a time of 8:14:53.  She was an hour and forty five minutes or so behind Lance, but the closest guy to Lance was almost a half-hour behind.  I don't think that Lance should be the benchmark for "can they compete".  
(I haven't seen my trainer yet to ask about it.  He finished 90th at 8:47:27, but he's currently suffering from a bruised liver and hasn't been back to the gym since he got back from Colorado. I assume he crashed at some point and landed terribly wrong.)
