What Sports Do You Play?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hey all, I thought that we could see what sports people around here played. Just post what ever sports you play or have played competitively, and why you like that particular sport. I'll start: I'm on my high school's rowing team. I joined the team because of a long love of boats and water. it's also co-ed so thats pretty chill as well. biggrin.gif

I used to play football and baseball in school. Pretty standard stuff. I was good at both but lacked the dedication or motivation (i.e. lazy) to try and take it to the next level.

 

After school I was into paintball for a while, got too expensive. What's not to like about shooting people.

 

Not long ago I was competing as an amateur in Scottish Heavy Athletics. Stopped because of a back injury. I have Scottish heritage and I am big and strong and like to throw things and wearing a kilt kicks major arse. Meat pies are yummy too.

 

I power lifted as well but never competed. Again, big and strong and I was pretty good at moving heavy stuff. It was a good feeling when you noticed people looking at you like you're a freak after a nasty bench session.

 

Now I mountain bike for recreation, possibly some day if I can shed some weight, get in better shape, and get dedicated enough, I may try the WVMBA race series. Mountain biking is awesome exercise and the places it takes you are just breath taking sometimes. It's a challenge, an adventure, and most of the people in the sport are really cool to be around. Can be pretty costly though.

I was the captain of my track and cross-country teams in high school.  I stuck with running over the years but have been working out with a road bicycle as well for over 5 years now.  I play baseball here in Japan as a center fielder and starting pitcher, with my position depending on how rested my throwing arm is.

I played soccer (keeper) and tennis in HS, and now I do both recreationally.

I lift weights at the gym regularly (4-5 days a week). When I can find a partner, I like playing tennis. I also started rock climbing, which is kicking my ass.
