Look everyone! It's a DI runner with a frail ego. Everyone ooooh and aaaah at his $1k/year scholarship to his $60k/year middle-lower tier private university.
It’s probably somebody who thought they were the next big thing coming out of high school because they were #1 on the varsity squad and broke some meaningless steeple record or something. Went d1 for the recognition and then overtrained/ discovered the wonders of alcohol as a freshman in college. Got injured or simply never lived up to their high expectations and now wanders over to a d3 xc thread to boost their own depleted ego. At least you have fancy gear and free shoes, though!
