<p>Most "nerds" go out for XC because it's a sport where no one gets cut, no hand eye coordination is needed, and there's no physical contact (except in some races where shoving and falling are common). People like that give a bad name to the sport (hai guyz i just did a 5k in 25 minutes im so kool!).</p>
<p>^Essentially you can put it on your college app and say you're a smart athlete?</p>
