Comments: I really love cross-country and this was a fantastic race. Because the terrain & surfaces are more challenging than in road races, the running is more difficult; yet unlike trail races, x-c is short enough that you have to put out hard from beginning to end. For these reasons, and because the level of competition is mostly very high, it has been for me an excellent discipline for improving my running speed and racing ability in general. Also, the team aspect is lots of fun for a triathlete like me who mostly trains solo.
