I usually get "chicked" at some of the bigger races in which elite and sub-elite women run. But today, I was in the unusual position of actually finishing next to one, whom I out-kicked. My friends say it was machismo and unnecessary. Other than finishing one place higher in Overall standings, I had really nothing else to gain but a bloated male ego. Should I have ceded to the female instead? Would it have been patronizing had I done so?
Your thoughts, especially those coming from females (if they actually read LRC forums)?
