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.

Get the cross countrymug. 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

bitch shut up before I shut you up that cross country race was gay

Get the cross countrymug. 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.

Get the cross countrymug. 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.

Get the cross countrymug. 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.

Get the cross countrymug. Is that act of pretending you are in a sport when really you do what 90% of people looking for a little cardio do when they work out, run a few miles. To be considered a cross country runner, the following must be done: Weigh under 120 lbs (regardless of sex), wear shorts with an inseam of no more than 2", take your shirt off whenever possible to show others your emaciated body stretched over an alien skeleton, hang with only fellow cross country runners (doucheness amplification), make sure that other people are aware of just how much of sport your "sport" is (regardless of that fact that all you do is try to out-exercise a large doucheherd of fellow runners galloping across lawns and wooded areas).

Bob: Would you rather stick your cock down a rattlesnake's throat or be seen by the girl you like in the vicinity of a cross country team?
Ted: 'grabs rattlesnake'
I tried out for the cross country team, but then I woke up from my nightmare, relieved I wasn't actually a goofy, douchey, athlete wannabe.
