Is Geocaching A...

[cexshun]

My definition may not be an "According to Hoyal" definition. But, it is my method of determining a sport.

 

Dictionary definitions prove useless for use in everyday life.

 

athlete

 

n : a person trained to compete in sports

 

So, by your precise dictionary definition of sport and grouping caching as a sport, then cachers are athletes. I disagree with this.

Sure we're athletes. We're just not professional athletes.

Or remarkably fit, for the most part.

 

Although I could see Geocaching being covered on ESPN8, "The Ocho"!

I describe it as a recreational activity. But hey.. call it what you want, it's still fun.

You ask my legs after walking up and down hills on Sunday if it is a sport.

Best description I've read in these forums is that Geocaching is a RASH.

 

Recreational Activity Sport Hobby.

Anyone who was around in the summer of 2002 knows that the question was settled definitively when majicman coined the term "RASH." See the confirmation in this thread.

 

Sprinting is an Olympic sport.

Long-distance running is an Olympic sport.

NASCAR is a highly successful commercial sport.

 

But break a dozen traffic laws driving around an unfamiliar city at 2:00 a.m. to run sprints across parking lots, and it's a game? Sheesh.

And I still got the Geocaching RASH!!!
