Pector55 - 2009-10-11 1:40 PM I was running by a farm the other day.  Inside the fence in area a pig came flying past me.  I guess I got porked.

LMAO!!!!

pga_mike - 2009-10-10 3:02 PM I just invented another term...

"Geezed"  def. ~ Getting overtaken by a person who is obviously two or more AG older

What about this one?

"AG-ed" def. ~ Getting overtaken by an age grouper

I meant no offense, I actually think that it is great that women (ok Chrissie) is so strong that she can finish top 10 Overall in almost any race.  I cannot wait until she wins one!


I've been geezed in every race I've done so far...something about those 60+ men.  Chicked?  Oh, that happens even in training much less racing.

I've been chicked, geezed, strollered, and in my first race I was passed by a 10 year old.  THAT was an ego boost.  However, I can say, I've never been porked...oh...wait, uh, nevermind.

I was geez-chicked at my race this weekend. I am not a strong runner but am decent. A woman runs by me and says "Looking good, Almost there." I look down at her calf and it says 59. I tried to pick up the pace and stay with her. That didn't work out for me.

Looks like Chrissie appreciates the term "chicked", here's a qoute from her post race press conference.:

"No, it's not something that's important to me, knowing where am I amongst the men. (Prompted by a question we asked about why Wellington had asked our spotters where she was in the field compared to the men.) I actually felt quite bad when I overtook some of the men out there. They give me someone to chase down out there. I don't know whether they take too kindly about being chicked."

You have no idea what you are missing.  I'm still hoping to get goosed.

annabananamc - 2009-10-10 6:41 PM Last ultramarathon I ran I got 'blinded'....a blind runner passed me!  

Heck, my first 5k, I got beaten by a dog!

I love geezing people though. Laughing 


Maybe it's just me, but my dog beats me, every run, every time.

Hey

I am on the other side of this. First season and age 50. Yesterday was my second sprint race and I was in the 3rd wave.  When I was on the bike it was motivating to pass younger guys from the first waves and they had to read my 50 as I said on the left and shot by them.

But then again I was a chick magnet as they passed me.  I had lot of booty to look at.

Good day for me!

For many years it has been theorized that women are more equipped genetically than men for endurance sports, mostly due to the generally extra % body fat I believe.  Perhaps this goes well when one plots the progression of the women's marathon-record time progression relative to the men's.  It also might well go to the Ultra distance events where the female gender has shown that it is as good as the male.  Perhaps we might see this in the IM with some time.  I somewhat doubt it, I just do not think the effort is long enough in duration albeit interesting.

I personally do find it offensive to hear the term getting "chicked".  Not because getting beat by an exceptional athlete is negative, but moreso that calling a woman a chick is a bit disrespectful.  The term perhaps belongs in the locker room as opposed to a public forum.

Women seem to be able to remain competetive at Ironman racing into much older ages then men pro's. I have little doubt woman have a massive, long term aerobic engine, my Mom is living proof having run a 1/2 marathon last year at age 66 in under 2:06. The limitation for women in IM is the bike. It so long and men have more raw strength that can't be overcome byaerobic strength.

I use the term a lot. But I'm a chick. I call lots of peeps (no pun intended) chicks (females that is). I guess I would only be offended if some guy referred to me as a 'chick' in a disrespectful tone or spoke of me as being a 'just a chick' to other men. I know my Grandmother and Mom find 'broad' offensive. And I've never been referred to as 'babe' - even by boyfriends; but I find that offensive because it implies more intimacy or even ownership.

What is disrespectful about it?  It's not different than a dude being a dude.  If a girl finds something like that offensive I would use it just to thicken her skin or push her over the edge.  (then again, I'm a button pusher)

My friend/coworker got chicked by a 12 year old at the last race. Both his wife and mine got great shots of him coming into T2 with this 12 year old right on his tail.  And a very young looking 12 at that.  Sure she finished 11th in the females overall, and somewhere in the top 50-75 overall.  But that didn't stop me from showing all our co-workers the photo and telling them "His goal at the next race is to be faster than a 12 year old girl!"

I got chicked by Chrissy at Columbia. Ok, she was out of the water before I even started but she still beat me. Hell, I ran right past her at the finish line. She was giving out medals and I didn't see her. Doh!

You know, I never would have commented if it had not been brought up.  I personally do not have anything against it other than an awareness that its trite nature might offend someone else.  When I hear it, it just evokes that thought so it is not something I would say.  Regardless, there are some pretty exceptional female athletes out there, Chrissie being one of them.
