KG- hopefully you didn't hear me yelling at IMC
"You loook great ladies!!" as a group of women ran past...
I agree that I would never want to be called " dears" but how was I to cheer? Chicks? Women? hmmm- I have to say I did think they all look great- I tried to call them by name ( on some of their bibs) but as a group would go past I often called them ladies- I guess I feel they did looked great- not looking like guys.. a step up -not that being sweaty and trying hard, pushing it, is only something guys can do... they just looked great- I called them ladies outta respect I guess.
It never would have occurred to me to shout out- "women you look great"
I don't know why really.. typed out is seems natural enough- but I often shouted out ladies ( only as a group went past ...)
I have to say - there were some awesome bikes going past too- mostly I was worshiping them!!
