InterviewGive me a quick run down of what’s involved in Cross Country Running.A full team consists of four men and four women, ranked both individually and as a team. A Cross Country race is a third downhill, a third flat and a third up-hill. We travel all over Alberta competing on different tracks against other schools in the ACAC. Women run 5k and men 8k. How’s your suffer face?It’s so bad! It’s so funny! Any of the team pictures that get taken are terrible because we are all making the worst faces. I didn’t even know I could make a face like that! One guy on our team, Adam, has the most hilarious suffer face. Plus, he swears under his breath the entire race. Is Cross Country considered a spectators sport?We don’t get many people coming out to watch our races here in Edmonton, but a ton of people come out in other cities. In Red Deer, it is a big thing. I don’t really understand why to be honest. You only see us leave and then come in again. Is there any team strategy to Cross Country?No, it is mostly each to their own. If everyone does their best, the team will do well. It is interesting because everyone is really nice to one another, and very supportive, no matter what team they’re on. Does doing your best in a race include throwing some elbows at the competition?Generally not... I have heard of people being stepped on with cleats in a stumble at the beginning of a race, but I’m sure it is not on purpose. I would be running with a pretty wide arm swing personally. If I hit someone, it would be there own fault.That might bring more people out to watch at least. |
