Not as fun anymore once I realized I was DQ'd.
DQ'd for barefootin'?
I ran my last HS CC race barefooted to get a PR and I did.
Another time a shoe came off during a road race that was mainly run on grass and around a lake. I finished with one shoe on the foot and one in my hand.
Gotta finish the race with ATLEAST 1 shoe on. It's the actual rule I believe. At least it was 2 years ago when I was in HS.
Once on a run I ran at a neighboring schools cross country course and I noticed a van parked in the woods down in an open field. Now, nobody ever parks down there so I was kind of confused. When I ran by the 1st time I saw two small kids playing on a blanket and no adults. The next time, maybe 7 minutes later, I saw what looked to be a lady lying naked on a towel by the kids but I just brushed it off. Then I went for the 2nd loop down to the area and she was standing up and naked. As I got closer she saw me and flipped out, covered herself in the towel. As I ran by I yelled that I was sorry I freaked her out while she was naked and when I got back to go by again the van was pulling away.
We had a girl in our HS that pee'd her pants all the time in track and cross country. The thing is, she was an 800m runner in track. During that race she pee'd all the time. It was awkward indeed. Then we found out that during cross nearly every girl on our team did it. I was a bit shocked.
Once at a big meet we had about 5 hours to our race so we bought a pair of girls running shorts that I put them on over my actual running shorts. They were super short and hardly covered me. We went into the bathroom and it was packed and I waited to use a stall. With everyone watching I went in and pulled down the 1st pair of short. My teammates "sneaked" in and stole them. Everyone thought I had no shorts on when I ran our screaming and chasing them while holding my shirt down. I chased them for nearly 20 minutes all over the course. People were screaming and parents were covering their kids eyes afraid I would let go and be nude in front of everyone. Some of them even complained to race officials that a naked kid was running around. Eventually my friends put my shorts up on a high pole and I jumped to get them. Everyone around gasped and then saw I had shorts on when I let go. They were all shocked. I went on to win my race and the best finish overall. While getting my medal all the kids in the stands and stuff were like "look! it's the naked guy! No...he fooled us! He wasn't naked at all!" It was pretty funny.
At the same race a guy on the team who was in love with this really cute girl on the team stood up and got everyone's attention. He then announced that it wasn't working out between him and this girl and that he wanted to break up publicly. She blushed so hard and everyone on the team laughed at her.
