Hope this doesnt get locked, I didnt find another topic along the same lines as this so I dont think it will...

 

To start of the rounds I am a swimmer, a diehard swim-in-a-lightning-storm swimmer. I do USASwimming (kind of a big deal) and IMO I'm reasonably fast. I swim backstroke & Individual Medley, my specialty being the 200IM (time of 2:12.07). I'm sure theres probably someone who will read this and ask "Do you wear a speedo? Ewwwww!", Yes I wear speedos, but it takes a real man to fit into one of those.

 

So what do the rest of y'all play to keep the fatties away?

Do you wear speedos?

 

Last year I did track. My favorite event was the hurdles. I mainly did it so I would feel like I had something to do after school, and not feel completely lazy. It's a lot more work than I thought it would have been, definately not a ride on a roller coaster.

I'm on the golf team here at Arcadia. I was also the captain of my high school golf team years ago. I made it to Districts twice, but failed to make it to States unfortunately. I'm hoping to make it to D3 Nationals this year. I set pretty lofty goals for some reason.

 

I am also going to try out for the basketball team - back pain permitting. I just got done watching Annapolis, so I'm pretty motivated to get into better shape and hit the gym hardcore.

I did 3 miles on the treadmill and 7 on the bike today, does that count?

 

I used to play Baseball, Football, Swim Team and Basketball. But that was a LONG time ago.

 

If my work schedule was more forgiving I'd love to join a softball league or something.

I used to do everything. In middle school, I wanted be the best at every sport, which was of course impossible. So I have a ton of sports equipment in my basement that I don't use because it's just a bit too small. I did cross country, basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and golf (and was on the school teams for all of those sports too-it's a good thing middle school had no homework).

 

Now, I just swim. I'm the fastest on our team in most of the events, but that's not really saying much, since our team is awful.

 

100 free: 52.57

50 free: 23.75

50 back: 27.91

100 back: 59.78

200 free: 1:58.35 (haven't done it in a long time though-like 9 months)

100 IM: 1:02.34

50 fly: 26.89

 

I've never done breast because I suck at it, and my fly time is just from a relay. All I do is short-mid range free and some back. My favorite is definately the 100 free.

Ah, sports...now we're speaking my language. I've played a few in my time. I used to play everything quite frequently, but then I got married. Guess that's how it goes, huh? Anyway, this thread inpsired me to go a bit retro and pull a few pics:

 

 

Yes, those are socks on the beach. Fort Lauderdale sand in august is scorching hot!

 

A little indoor high school action (or non-action judging by this, the only pic I could find). I'm #16, and somewhere in that group is a kid that turned into one of the top 3 players in the world!

 

There he is. George Roumain. A freakin' monster.

 

Even in the pool.

 

Sorry, bad pic. The only hockey one I could find though.

 

 

Throw in surfing, golf, bowling and racquetball too. Couldn't find pics for all those though. Anwyay, thanks for humoring me on my trip down memory lane. I feel like one of those athletes sitting at their retirement press conference and reliving glory days.

I'm a swimmer. Swimming has been a big deal for me ever since the 6th grade. I do USA club swimming as well as my school team. Unfortuneately, my school team absolutely sucks lol.

I was always terrible at sports during HS, but now I am a referee. I have my MSHSL card for basketball, an ASA softball card, and I do some intramural stuff around the U as well.

I played a lot of sports growing up, and since I have stopped I think that's why I am so friggin huge now.

 

I ran Cross country and Track through the duration of high school, and played various forms of baseball (little league, pony etc) for about 12 years. I couldn't play for HS though since it ran into track season which, quite frankly, I did for exercise and baseball wouldn't have provided the same level of exercise 80% of the season.

 

I also played soccer and football (which is where my love for the TE came from :wink) when I was younger but neither was carried into my teens.
