Transgender runner complains about being 'slow' and 'out of shape' after winning women's half-marathon

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines discusses North Carolina’s ban on transgender athletes from female sports on ‘The Story.’

A transgender runner and medical student, who previously trained as a male, complained on social media after finishing fourth in a New York half-marathon, and first in the women's category. 

The competition, called The Upstate Classic, offers a 5K and Half Marathon at the Altamont Fairgrounds near Albany.

The trans runner, Kae Luci Ravichandran, said after winning the female #1 slot, "Embarrassingly slow, gave up after mile 5 because my tendon was acting up. Very out of shape. I'll take the [win] tho[ugh]." 

Ravichandran finished after 1 hour and 24 minutes. The second-place female winner, Amanda Aussems finished in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

"Male runner, Kae Ravichandran, won women's category by 6 minutes at the Upstate Classic Half Marathon," she said. "The real winner of women's category was Amanda Aussems with a time of 1:30.39. Congrats to her and the other female runners."
