Excerpt from Channel Runner
“Come on Mary, be realistic. You’re a girl. You’re an excellent runner but you can’t compete against boys. They have bigger muscles, bigger lungs…”
“I’ve heard that already today,” said Mary. “Do you believe it?”
“Well, yes, it’s a fact. There’s nothing we can do to change it.”
“People once thought the Earth was flat. They thought that if you sailed to the edge you’d fall off. They thought that was a fact.”
“But Mary that was a long time ago. We’re talking about modern science.”
“Does that mean every scientific fact is right and can’t be challenged?”
“Well, I suppose it can be challenged…” Darren Green could now see what was in Mary’s mind. He now realised why she had run an extra five laps around the track. “You want to do some challenging?”
“That’s right.”
