Running is the foundation of skiing. XC ski race a 15 km and you output much more power as well as have to engage the balance mechanism. The biomechanics of running and skiing are nearly identical. Strength, Endurance plus Balance is what separates the two challanges. Skiing is a year round sport and activity. As any worthy skier, for instance Jessie Diggins knows. Jessie will ski on wheels a greater part of the year than on snow. Run, ski, ski or run. The person with mastery of both running and skiing is the person reaching the maximum challenge of processing the Sun's energy through the human mechanism efficiently. What form of roller skiing is the most viable to commute to work with everyday? Now that is a very interesting question these days.
I bugs me when people say XC is easy all you do is run, there is no skill involved. Okay, well you are never the best until your the top runner in the entire world. Even then the younger generation will be chasing after ya.
Jordan Hasay - as a runner for the University of Oregon she is the most decorated runner in school history with 15 combined all-America awards, two national titles and four Pac-12 crowns.
I hate when people don't take XC seriously. In our bi-state meet two girls JOGGED the whole thing,and carried on a conversation, because they said that it was too tiring to run, causing us to lose horribly.
yeah. it is really tough at times to do it and some people think you can just go from sitting on your couch to running xc in a day but that isn't true.
Running requires only the skill of running...because it is not a game. So yes, all you do is run, run really hard, really fast, push the human body to the absolute limit, truly leaving it all on the field. If your sport has a countdown timer, then you cannot leave it all on the field/court/anything. Nobody collapses after a basketball game, after a soccer game, football game. These games will never challenge you physically and mentally the way that running does. I dare anyone to prove me wrong.
I was in about 4th place when we were halfway done. Then this guy behind me fell down and injured his knee badly. I couldve won, but i went back to help him.
at 2:53 my luck would be that i get beside that one jerk that would make me fall and make the world blow up.. and yea.. i dont have the best.. well cross country luck XD
+Dawson Hilfiger That race was actually at the California State Championships where she ran for her sick coach but physically broke down. She crawled across the finish for her coach, their team won the most state championships for xc girls.
I know we all wonder every time we see her, anyone else want to weigh in on whether Paula Radcliff was on EPO during her world record marathon? That is the greatest world record in any sport (men or women), it would be Olympic A-standard FOR MEN.
Well said dude. I've never played a sport that was as hard, frustrating, and gratifying as Cross country.
The girl crawling to the finish line is all the inspiration and motivation I need. I'm ready to start cross country
I agree we do more then run alot of people dont really understand how much pain we go through mentally and physicaly.
i agree. i run XC and i love it. it really does bother me though when people say all you do is run.
That was awesome. I love Cross Country. Probably the most underrated sport of all time.
yeah i know. every day when i went to xc practice, the other kids would say,"here come the track kids" and I got so annoyed.
I'm joining my school's XC team this year. I absolutely love running distance.

Beautiful.
Running is nice.
Mountain Dew UF invitational 2012 was a split start.

crystal springs/mt sac. heck yea! 2 of the best courses ever.

My palms are sweaty. Great job!
I Love This. At My School Cross country Is Not Recognized as much as it should be.
It's not about winning it's about you achieving personally. A team is a team but it's made of individuals like that. Some people take it way too far!
Nick D it’s about the team winning
For anyone wondering- THE SONG IS... Furious Angels by Rob Dougan

York's freakin' badass.

Good sportmanship
Lukas Dunaway very honorable
But also very stupid
This was a good video, but I'll like any cross country video regardless.
I've seen the same thing. Sometimes girls will hold each other back because they want to talk during races.

at 2:53 my luck would be that i get beside that one jerk that would make me fall and make the world blow up.. and yea.. i dont have the best.. well cross country luck XD
