It seems that some men had to be drafted in to make up the numbers. Drop outs from the day before possibly?
great, so you empower women by drafting in blokes once women have dropped out...
Now stop it - it was raining hard and you know how much waterproof mascara costs, plus that chalky mud plays hell with your ankles when you're wearing high heels. Besides, all the men were actually honorary women for the day.
