the best sport, better than any other sport. other people are just jealous that cross country runners have mad skills.

A sport in its purest form. Unlike track, which is normally a race against the clock, cross country is all about beating the other runner. The only way to succeed in xc is to train harder, faster, and smarter than your rival. This is unlike many other sports that rely on mostly talent rather than training. A sport that should be respected the most, yet is probably respected the least.
I'm too big of a pussy, so I quit cross country and joined football.

Probably one of the most competitive sports out there. If you are really competitive about it and you lose a race you want to kick someone's teeth in. If you win you get incredibly cocky about it and piss people off on purpose

1. A sport that requires a lot of running.

2. Something mexicans are good at.
1. Cross country is too difficult for me.

2. Person 1: Did you see that guy run that marathon?
person 2: Yeah, but I don't think he's from this country.

It is a sport that is tough but not as tough as a biathlon, triathlon, or any other polyathlon. This is only because biathlons and up include running plus biking, rowing, swimming, or anyother form of strenuous activity.
Cross Country is basically running on courses of different distances which can include various types of terrain.
Derek managed to shit himself and puke everywhere while running a cross country race this summer.

A sport devised in such a manner as to be nothing more than a great and pointless load of self torture and hatred. A sport in which off-road one could get easily lost and eaten by wild animals. A sport in which the person who falls behind is behind and most likely stays behind FOREVER...like they never find him cuz he dies. A sport for the severely brain-damaged or the extremely brave. A sport in which the scoring...makes absolutely no sense and most of the time the runners dont even understand it. The highschool sport for the extremely uncordinated and super fit runner types.
Cross country - Running out into the desert...with no water...for miles.

Crazy?
Precisely.
