It should not affect the performance for a female in sports. Unless horrible cramping occurs, it should not affect preformance at all.

Yes, but not just because of cramping. Menstration causes fatigue, dehydration, irritability, AND cramping. If you are hoping to achieve you best time, I suggest planning the race on a date you won't have your period.
