getting chicked

Definition: Only applicable to men. Refers to a male athlete being beaten by a female contemporary. Eg; Jon got chicked in the pool today during swim training.

Goodness. i am so smashed from swim training today. Even yesterday's 150km bike ride didnt feel so tiring. For the second week, Christine and Jing from Georgia Tech's swim team joined us for swim training today and just whooped my ass. Or, to put it in simple terms, i got chicked.

Christine is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. She said she was a short-d swimmer, most being 200m. Crapppppp... Her long-d still kicks butt. She did a blazing fast 5:15 during a 400m target, chicking me by a good 14 seconds. I found her player profile here.

Scary stuff.

Jing also kept up the pressure behind me so that there was no way i could slack. And this was her being " out of shape " (i know a particular someone who would say that any shape is a shape) and she is still fast! check out her profile here.

holy shite... 16:57 for 1650...

but despite the obvious ego-bruising, i really enjoy swimming with the two of them. its been a while since i had someone who could push me (or pull) during swim trainings. my swim's been stagnating for a while, and these two freakish-ly fast ladies came at the right time to help me peak for IM frankfurt. its really a privilege to be able to swim with them. and with the way things are going, i can only improve! so away with the ego and bring on the "chicking"!
