dude you use spikes to get traction when you go up hills and in differnt terrain
accelerating in race is called surges to pass people then you find your pace agian

im not going to try and argue with you about this because our courses must have been differnt and our coackes tell us diff things you went all the way through hs with it and im only a freshman

i meant that if you run a 16:20 all the time at a D1 college i dont think they would keep ya but thats my opinion
we dont do road races they all in grass and woods

im not gonna lie track is boring as shi* and i thought XC would be stupid and dumb until i ran it but once i ran it it was awesome
