Well, I guess there's no "World Record" (WR) for XC since courses differ, but why?
Well, I guess there's no "World Record" (WR) for XC since courses differ, but why?
There are a couple of reasons.
One reason is that many xc races are hand timed.
The main reason is because the measurement of the course is not accurate enough for the time to be reported that accurately.
Some even say that long track races should be reported to the tenth instead of the hundredth because of the accuracy of track measurements. This is also why times are reported to the hundredth and not the thousandth
