In gym class today, we ran laps around the gym for a warm up. I ran past these two guys who were running together. One of them turned to the other one, and he said, "Did you realize Lindsay just lapped us?"
What did he mean when he said I "lapped them?"

lapped means that you passed them.
if we were running a race and you passed me, then i would say you lapped me.
it's perfectly innocent and is not a sexual term in any way.

terms: being lapped, lapping them, you lapped them
They are all standard running terms that people who run on tracks use. Or race car drivers who drive on circular tracks.
Some guys might be offended or surprised to be lapped by a girl, but don't worry about those kind of guys.
P.S. It comes from the fact that a "lap" is one time around the track. So "do a lap" means go around the track one time. To "lap" someone is to have run so far as to have accumulated an extra lap compared to them.

They meant that you ran one more whole entire lap around the track than they have. Meaning you guys were running together and you ran ahead of them until you reached them again. Get it?

It means that you passed them twice during one lap. You passed them, completed a lap, and then passed them again before they had completed the first lap.

Turned away - a horse has been broken in and then turned out to grow up for a season, physically. Tying up -or tied up, - when a horse has a sort of spasm usually in the back legs, also called lymphangitis, a swelling and paralysis due to fast excersise after a period of rest while still on hard feed. This is serious and the only prevention is to change to bulk feed only on the night before a day off, possible turn out into paddock and then gentle excersise for the first 1/2 hour or so the next time he or she is ridden. If they do tie up then forced excersise is unadvisable. Box home and keep warm till vet arrives. Good to do - easy to keep both in feed (keeps weight on easily) and also easy to handle (groom, box, shoe, clip etc) depending on context. Good doer is a horse who seems to thrive on hard work and not alot of hard food and supplements. Founder is another word for laminitis an inflamation of the blood vessels in the feet with complications. Usually because the horse is too fat and is on lush grass. Was once confined to ponies but now horses seem to be getting it more too. Can also come on later in life due to Cushings Disease - another symptom would be thick curly coat in summer.

It means they have run round just once in the time you have ran round twice, you have done an extra lap than they have, therefore you have lapped them.

That means you passed an entire lap around them. You were going significantly faster. That's all.

it mean you were ahead of those guys and you ran so fast that you were able to come from behind and pass them meaning now you are a whole lap ahead of them

He meant that Lindsay went one lap ahead of them and passed them, while she was ahead.
