This forum would be awesome if....

there were numerical values to correspond with "bragging." Every high school runner lies about their times, but I read these forums and can't find anything about how fast anyone is.

Times can vary a lot depending on the course, the condition of the course. the weather, etc, etc. There are a few who are so good that they win dispite the adverse conditons. Jill Skinner comes to mind, the guys from Houston come to mind, and of course Bumbi comes to mind. It's hard to just compare times if those times didn't come on the same course under the same conditions. Last year at state was a great example of how much the weather determines times. Had it not been so hot, most everyone's time would have been better.

thanks for the information. I've been racing for about 15 years so I am privy to all the different reasons why results vary. thumb

When I was in high school, I ran my 3 miles in 3 minutes and 14 seconds!

I love you guys (I'm assuming that you are all male). You have made this tired, sick, old lady laugh today. So is running your only specialty or can you leap tall buildings too. Oh wait. that would go on the track and field forum, not XC.
