No apples and oranges is when the men throw a 16 pound shot and women throw one much lighter then they compare the distances.

Apples to Apples is when they both run 100 meters. Or even better when they run a mile with a hundred pound pack on their back. Apples and Oranges is when the guys carry 100 pounds and the girls carry 20.

I watched a bunch of Air Force Pararescue swimmers swimming with a tire around their neck. Having those college swimmers do the same thing would be apples to apples as that is the kind of things they train for in reality.

I know full well the requirements and resolve for such endeavors.

I have helped train two female Army Divers.

Your own run times are up in the upper echelon of performance and would be beyond most SOF members.
