calm down dan, just cause where you go doesn't have computers, and your forced to get a tan, well, that's you own fault. :D

yeah yeah, track and xc are the sports of people who don't want to do sports, blah blah blah. But still, nothing beats Ultimate Frisbee.

Ian W. 10-04-2002 21:22

um, no one said anything about track and xc being the "non-sport" sports.

i run varsity xc. its probably one of the hardest sports out there. i ran it for 4 years and still can't figure out why.

Because running is fun and you can use it for (almost) every other sport. I actually wanted to do CC too, but then there was a thing called Robotics at the same time (not FIRST, OCCRA)...

DanL 10-04-2002 21:49

What I meant by the non-sport thing is that track and xc require the least amount of skill. It's basically just a lot of hard work. Not sure how it is at other schools, but here, it's also the least time-consuming sport. You go after school, run for about 45 minutes, then go home. Nothing like 2 hours a day like the other sports. It's the least amount of time, but it's one of the most work-involved sports. Thats my opinion, anyways.

Underwater hockey

Here Cross Country is neither more nor less work than any other sport (although it might be a bit harder because you don't have too many jogging or explanation phases like in other sports). Practice goes from 4 pm to 6 pm, like in other sports, includeing weight room training every second day. They also run on weekends and go to competitions. I know all that because I went to tryouts and they explained it to us - I did never show up there again because from the next day on I had to choose between CC and Robotics. Guess for what I decided...

Wrestling and soccer.
Soccer is a great endurance sport. 45 minutes of sprint jog jog sprint jog sprint sprint...and having to do more then just stick one foot in front of the other. Then a 10 minute break and back at it for 45 minutes.:)
Wrestling I did, and found it much harder then it looked. 2 minute rounds, and for the nearly the entire two minutes you push your muscles to the limits. All of them. 3 rounds in a match, unless someone got pinned. And let me tell you, thats tireing.
And you tend to have 4-5 matches on a given Saturday meet.

That and running from ye olde rent-a-cop, but thats a diffrent story. ;)

ROFL, WHUT????? Underwater Hockey??

On a sidenote, what is "real swimming"? And does that mean everyone who doesn't do "real swimming" is fake swimming?

Jordan A. 16-04-2002 22:27



Yup, underwater hockey, its hard as hell, I wouldnt be surprised if the "real swimmers" would come up short, everything is harder when your holding your breath :)
