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.

Cross country doesn't take any skill at all all you do is run but like in football you can take all that anger out on someone on the other team and not get in trouble. And in football you weight lift run and do lots of hills which i hate.
like my friends say:

It's on the borders of Pain and Suffering that Football PLayers, and wrestlers are sperated from the rest!!

The most grueling, tiring, REWARDING sport EVER. Cross Country is hard but it makes a person really healthy. Requires a lot of running which makes a person's body tight, lean, and graceful looking. XC guys aren't gay! They're hot as hell. And us girls...well...you know! XC is so much fun!!!
XC Runner: A 10 minute cooldown run after a 5k? Hey, I'm down.

XC Runner 2: Let's go past the hot XC guys!

XC Runner: Yeah!!

what takes so much effort and indurance, a sport which is one person against everyone else, but in the end it's just you. You're in it for you. We run over 10 miles every day and can deal with more pain than you could ever imagine. Don't make fun of us. We can beat your asses any day, bitch.
Cross country is beast as shit and you're a pussy.

A sport that most other sports look down on. Of course, they don't have the balls to try it out for themselves, and if they do, they go home crying after the first week. (see Ultimate Football)
Damn, but those cross country kids just ran 15 miles... But they're gay...
