"XC is hard."
-Brannon Kidder.
Saw this tweet on that Social Internettie Thingie yeasterday and it got me to thinking.
The Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh's XC course yesterday was held in some unseasonably warm conditions, making an already difficult sport more so. The temps approached 90 degrees and 27 college athletes were hauled off the the Lehigh Valley Hospital before the decision was made to scrap the entire high school slate of races. The PSU Women ended up in 9th place and the Men finished 10th.
I remember XC races in snow, temps below 20 degrees, rain, downpours but never any with heat as the main impediment to good times. Anybody have any good and tough XC race stories?
XC is easy.
