I've tried pictures, now I'll try writing. If this doesn't garner a 9 I give up =].

Thanks to DD for proofreading some questionable writing for me, and Mark4 for his marathon report that gave me the idea for this in the first place. Love!

Help, I don't know what I did wrong Eld. It shows up white text on black background for me.

Great stuff man, i didnt think i would bother reading it (i havnt read a battlereport for like a month :P), but your writing (and the fact i used to do cross country running a lot) kept me reading. I felt myself nodding when you mentioned that you dont get any recigniton or girls :( the pacing required, that numbing pain in your chest that makes you want to colapse but somehow you just keep going...
In summary i fucking love this report
10
Oh and bloody good luck in your race tomorrow :D

i found it fairly difficult to read, i suggest trying out a new bg/font color scheme

"i suggest trying out a new bg/font color scheme". In mozilla it appears as black on black. You don't need CSS for a report, and in this case it actually makes it worse. Kudos to ZerG~LinG on that.

Other than that it was nice. Your friend Josh reminds me so much of someone I know at work. Nice job and nice times. That's like 7 minutes a mile? I'd struggle to do that for one mile. Very good sportsmanship too.

Anyways, I think this has to be the first 'cross-country' battlereport ever done, so props on that. Your writing is as good as ever. I'm going to pretend for the moment that you do know how to use a <font> tag, and give this the grade I would if I didn't have to highlight all the text.

BTW, good luck on Tuesday.

Hehe, on Internet Explorer it was light grey on white background, so I loaded it in Mozilla. And now it's black on black :(

<3, oh well.

cool report, it'd be hard to write a narrative on something like running but your insights and commentary were effective

what got me was your characterization of the other runners you encountered, how you identified them, funny stuff sir

"I asked on Warsmith if anyone wanted to read a report of one of my meets, and the response was anything but sensical. Taking that as a go ahead, I got to work. "

When I first read this, I chuckled. It was pretty funny. And then, a paragraph down, I suddenly remembered that snowyday and I were discussing using Photoshop to add rampaging elephants and monsters chasing the runners. LOL

Too bad you didn't do it.

The report was awesome though. I would say worth a high eight or a nine :)

Well last week was my last one, because boro champs are starting. I'll read it now. Hopefully entertaining :)

16:53 in what grade?
#17 choboPeon[154320]
ool-18bb276c.dyn.optonline.net
Ah, your second year on varsity? Senior?

Good idea on the report, okay run ;)

What do you run indoor/outdoor? I barely move in cross country, i'm just really not good at it. I ran a 16:55 2.5 a little while ago and after a 4 mile warm up ran a 21 3.1 developmental.

Indoor/outdoor's a lot more fun :D

If everyone would just do proper css, we wouldnt have this mess T_T

Anyway, it showed up fine for me, liked the report a lot, really reminded me of mark4's marathon (which was also great).

Heh i was just about to mention Mark 4's marathon :P
Didnt he get beaten by an 80 granny?
^^
Bah u god damn americans with your miles!
I havnt done any serious running since high school (go figure :P), but i remember getting around 4:59 in 1500m (around 0.95 or so miles??) back in grade 8.
Dunno what my cross country times were thou (i only went in the cross country in primary school and never finished better than 60th out of like 160 in the interschool :(

choboPeon: my school's cross country team is so small that "varsity" actually begins at the Freshmen level. I'm a Sophomore (do I really look like a senior in my picture :o). I've never run a mile indoors, but my outdoor time is about 5:45-48. 5K is 22:10 T_T.

Glad people enjoyed, getting a comment about my writing from SupeRc0pKr is certainly nice. I don't think I'll be bothering with CSS anymore.

My school's cross country "course" blows. Like 10 people injure themselves just trying to get through the woods. (According to people I know who run corss country. I do [American] football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and track in the spring). I'm a 400m runner, too lazy for 2 miles.
#25 Shuriken[154330]
ool-182e1a3b.dyn.optonline.net
bleh.. long distance blows.
i ran the 100m in 11.2 secs in 8th grade, but ender would kick my ass in anything longer than a 400m. 16 minutes is a great time dude for a 2.5mile, so my hat goes off to you :).

anyway, i read sum of ur report. excellent stuff. i laughed my ass of at the 'wrestling with swine' kid with the terrible b.o.[

#26 Shuriken[154331]

no one brs golf or their school's football teams, why?

nice job ender. decent-ish writing, kept the interest, 7.5-8. anytime I've been running competitively the folks are such stupid-heads, where d'you find the nice guys?

oh right, not in toronto...

Holy shit dude... you never told me you lived in Pelham Parkway... I used to live there. Where was that? Pelham Parkway near white plains road or near pelham bay park?
#31 choboPeon[154338]
ool-18bb276c.dyn.optonline.net
I dunno, I guess you don't look like a senior :p

And Shuriken is right - long distance does blow :) 400 and 800 are the most fun races.

Holy crap, you have the building I live in in one of your pictures!! ^__^

That is so cool, even though it is just a building and all.

Gotta love the dirty Bronx. :)

"We get about 800% less recognition than the football team"

That really had me rolling. I play football for my high school, and I don't know if the ratio is THAT large. But our school is pretty big on school spirit, I mean our swimming and bowling team, along with our band, gets recognition. I'd say cross country is right behind football, basketball show choir, and baseball, tied with track. Maybe like 300% :D.

Eww at that pic at the end ;]

-2 for not putting in "SEE ENDER RUN! RUN ENDER RUN!" as a section title.

+1 for at least using "go ender go!" in a section title.

Felt a touch short to me, but I guess writing about a race doesn't lend itself to Praetorian length. So...

8 :]

note: this is the first and last time i go on battlereports.com. its against my religion.

argle. lets do this one at a time.

first, i am shamed for the depiction of me and my sport in this.
second, the town of pelham and pelham parkway are two very, very different places.
third, 800% is a conservative estimate.
fourth, i deleted this entry halfway through.
fifth, i did stick around to congratulate 'ender'. (what a bad name)
sixth, my battle report for that day would be indescribably awesomer than "ender's" (i feel sick just typing it)
seventh, thats a bad picture of me
eight, random miscellaneous errors in the report.

other than that, it was good.
#48 snowyday[154387]

I'm intrigued by your religion. I'd ask you to divulge information concerning it, but presumably you're not coming back here to BR.com. Maybe ender (you're right it isn't a great name) will have some insight.
#49 Turbo_Noob[154392]

I have a religion too: I worship Odin, Thor, and the gathering of Norse gods to grant me their might and awesome power. For when I die in glorious battle and the valkyries take my warrior's spirit to valhalla, I shall spend an eternity in battle and splendor! HAIL THOR, GOD OF THUNDER!

You gave up on her? Taming the shewolf is one of the viking's proudest customs, you just have to ride it out and hang on until she's too tired to go on. It's a lot like taming a wild horse.
