Swimming is not hard, so shut up. Trust me, I did it for seven years. Xc is waaaay harder

i run cross country and play golf for my school. in golf, you have to maintain a swing while walking through a 4-5 mile long course

Well golf isn't as physically demanding but is much harder to be really good/accurate at. I run xc and play golf for my school.

Id rather run a xc practice than swim a swimming one, especially with 3 a days.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Uh, we have three a days too? It's some hard shit that goes down at our practices

You work really hard, but try doing it underwater, and using every muscle in your body, not just your legs and abs.

As I said, I have swam for seven years. There is no comparision

i got all respect for swimmers as an xc person. i think we should all get together, create a triathlete team, and show them football/soccer players whats up

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Cross Country: Our shoes have more miles than your car. <3

Actually youre our sport's warm up!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This year, we had eight mile practices once a week at almost race pace. You run eight miles in 56 minutes as a warm-up. Hahaa.. I'd like to see you try. >=P

Hell yeah, cross country is where it's at!

When we get in trouble at a practice and stuff, the coach doesn't make us run a cross country course. He makes us run a lot of sprints. So this post would make a lot more sense if it was talking about track... not cross country.

Anyone who thinks XC is easy, go watch a race and see how happy and carefree the runners look. And notice the AMBULANCE ON CALL. Still think it's easy?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes.

there are no hills in water, there are no other people to bump into in water as you are separated, and cannot trip in water

In our races, EMTs are placed at every 800 meters, along with about 10 of them at the finish, while we're puking our guts out and trying to stay conscious. It's NOT easy, ClayKay.
