<p>I am interested in joining Track, I am generally a good runner, played basketball for about 6 years. None of my friends (Nerds) are joining, or even considering trying out......sigh. Should I go for it?</p>
<p>go for it...try out and find out if its something you want to do...if not than stop doing it</p>
<p>What do you have to lose?</p>
<p>Sports is the best way to find friends. When you go through a four mile tempo together, it makes you friends automatically.</p>
<p>^Really? sweet.</p>
<p>i also feel teh same way but I'm a senior so most people who have joined are already familiar with rack...i don't even understand what track is...people talk about the 400 and squares and I'm clueless. </p>
<p>Can someone help me out? What if i'm really bad...? =/ How much should i practice to get ready?</p>
<p>yea i completely agree with mr_chipset. track is great, think about joining cross-country too. everyone just seems to be really good friends with each other in sports teams.</p>
<p>Track is so great, track kids are fantastic, the way you feel after almost killing yourself in a workout is amazing, the meets are crazy and great fun. Join now.</p>
<p>Oh come on now. I mean, you should totally do track, but you just</a> posted a thread about this. Do you really need another one?</p>
<p>Anyway, my answer is, as it was in that other thread, yes. Do track. You'll make other friends. I went and hung out with like 12 track peeps today at a Chinese restaurant, then we all went for ice cream. Like five of us are going to see Juno on Monday. We're awesome.</p>

Think about it, you can puke after a workout! Isn't this a good reason to join track?</p>
<p>PS. For me it'd be enough by itself.</p>

<p>it's not a workout until you puke, man.</p>
<p>Where we practice, we consider puking a part of workout, man. Then you puke afterwards. I love the sport.</p>
<p>^lol, During cross-country meets, the grass around the chute thing is covered because of everyone that puked. I have never seen this at a track meet though. We usually don't puke, but everyone usually just falls to the ground and lays there for a minute or two right after practice.</p>
<p>Where we practice, we consider laying for a minute or two a part of workout too. In fact, most of our team is so hardcore we often do this type of workout for 7-8 hours a day even during sleep. Our team is hardcore.</p>
<p>LOL at mr_chipset above me. I've been on cross country and track all throughout high school and all I can say is it's tough. It's one of the few sports where you can actually say "you get what you put into it." BTW, I've never puked from running before; whether it be from a race or a really intense workout....NOT ONCE. :)</p>
<p>SDMS12, have you thought about what event you might like to try? are you fast? do you have a 30+ inch vertical?</p>
<p>someguy, you have never had a REAL cross-country practice until you have either puked/collapsed/couldn't breathe or any combination of those lol jk. but yea i really do agree with the you get what you put into it. if you have the determination to run miles upon miles every week, you can be really great.</p>
