The Incident   
My most embarrassing xc moment was not during a race, but on my way to the race.  On the night before states, we had finished our pre-states dinner and then everybody went to the football game.  When I got home I decided that (on the advise of Runners World) I should drink a whole bunch of water to get ready for my race.  Apparently I didn't know when to stop.   The state meet was at Killen's and we made the trek down there at the crack of dawn.  I made my way to the back of the bus with my 2 gallon water jug and sat down and proceeded to drink some more water.  I was determined to be nice and hydrated for the race.  Well,  we probably made it to about Dover Downs and I started to feel a little too full of the water, in fact no, I was bloated!  So the message was relayed to the front of the bus to the coach
who got the bus driver to pull the bus over and gave me wise instructions, he doesn't just get coach of the year for coaching running, he's a multidimensional coach, well anyway he says "go back into the woods as far as you can"  so I bound off the bus running all the way to the unseen fence that was about 20ft away and blocking the woods!! and so I look at the fence.....and then back at the bus....and then back at the fence.....and traffic was whizzing by, yada yada yada .....I was greeted with a standing ovation on the bus!  
    oh and my most embarrassing racing moment was when one time I came around a turn and fell and then I got up and continued running, boy was I red in the face!
