In competitive cross country, or "Nordic", skiing, the objective is to ski over a predetermined course in the fastest time possible. There are two different disciplines of skiing in which races are contended, "classical" in which skiers use a motion similar to running, and "freestyle" in which they use a motion similar to skating. Cross country skiing is considered to be one of the most physiologically demanding endurance sports, and elite level skiers have some of the highest recorded VO2 maxes (a measure of the body's ability to absorb oxygen) ever.
Cross Country is like Track. You are running, but the only difference is that in Cross Country you are running some trials and in track you are running the track. There are different categories in Track: 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 meter dash, 800 meter dash, 1600 meter dash, and 3200 meter dash. In Cross Country, I am not sure if you are running 3.2 miles or 5 miles. So it is just distance.

I have been in cross-country for 2 years, cross-country is nothing like track, but it is running. But distance running instead! They're different kinds of races, 1k's, 2k's, 3k's 4k's 5k's. They're even 10k's.
Cross-country is a much harder sport than track, since you don't take any breaks between races. You continue going until you're finished 100%.
I forget what 1k's and 2k's are, since I don't do them. 3k's is 1.8 miles, a 5k is 3.1 miles. I don't know what a 10k is, long story short 3k and up is at least a mile long.
Cross country is a sport where you run long distances over varying terrain, including mud,sand and grass. Only 5 athletes' places count. The fewer points your team has the better.
The distance run is a 5k, which equates to about 3.1 miles. It is a highly competitive sport. Just a second can make the difference between placing in a race or not placing. You have to be very dedicated to this sport to succeed.
if you ask me.
it is tiring
But it will keep you very fit and healthy
I had to do a 3K run and another two 1K run which equals 5Ks of running
oh i was thirsting
It is a sport where you run your butt off. I personally run 10 to 14 miles a day. The meet is 3 miles long. You gotta have lots of dedication.
