My sport is ____________.
 
Fill in the blank. I'll start.

My sport is cycling.

I've been in to biking since forever, and I bike about 18 miles to & from work every day. Love it.

I'm good at all sports but not great at any. But if I had to pick one at this stage of my life I'd have to say golf.

Football. I played 4 years in high school, and my college has full pad intermurals, so I still get to play.

sailing. Used to be cross country skiing, but lived too far away from good development programs. Basketball was also probably it from gr. 7-9.

I can do a lot of sports decently but...

My sport is swimming. 4 years of swimming. I think my best 50 time was a 26.high and my best 100 time was probably a 1:03 or something. Yeah, my best sport is swimming and I'm not even that great at it. But I can probably outswim 99.5% of 2+2rs and 95% of the population.

I think being able to outswim 95% of the population guarantees that you can outswim 100% of 2+2ers

If you can swim a 50 in 26 seconds you can probably outswim everyone on 2+2 and 99.5% of the population.

Is that in yards or meters? In high school i could swim the 50 in about 22 seconds, and the 100 in 51. This was in yards, but i was also pretty good at swimming [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

And oh yea, now i'm 21 and fat [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Macdaddy Warsaw 05-12-2005 11:19 PM

Re: My sport is ____________.
 
I wish it was meters, but no, yards. Um...If you're swimming a 22 in HS you should probably have gotten a scholarship to college and or done some serious training and looked at the olympics.

Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure something like sub 26 or around 25 got you to States, and I'm sure a 22 would have taken you to Nationals.

All things being equal, that would mean that 10% of the population are 2+2ers...

Used to be basketball. Believe me young fellers, your knees will one day pay for all those stutter steps, jump stops and rebounds.

True, but i think I was basing this on the fact that I've sen some posts before where people posted times. You're absolutely right though, I could probably outswim more than that percentage.

I did get scholarship offers, but health problems stopped me from going any further. I was rounding, i never got close to 22.0, best time was probably like 22.5. A time of 25 wouldn't even be close to qualifying for state, but i swam in Florida, one of the most competitive states for swimming, so maybe it is different. I would say you need to break 23 to qualify for states.

Swam a 25 second 50 and a 58 100 in HS and that wasnt even good for Southern California.

Also your assumption about the other poster getting a scholarship is way off. His times would barely qualify in CIF southern section finals when I was in HS and those are damn good times.

Sprint freestyle wasn't really my events. I was more of a distance/ Individual Medley guy. I swam mostly the 500 and 200 I.M. Best time in the I.M. was 2:03

Haven't played since I was 18 though. I need to move somewhere warm that will have leagues for people my age and not just beer softball leagues.

True, but I am tired and should be doing my homework. Unfortunately I hate Spanish/math/English/History. That's why I'm posting about how much cooler I am than Dead.

I'll give it to you Dead that you are better looking than me and dress better.

Used to be track. Once upon a time I'd have hurdled/sprinted/high jumped/long jumped/discussed anyone here for money.

I was a horrible distance runner. Fastest mile was in the low 4:50s, and my fastest 5k was in the mid 18's. This is why I sprinted and jumped.

~D

EDIT: Yes, that's a mile and not a 1500 or even a 1600M.

Oh, and I forgot to say that if there are 10 guys on this site who could kick my ass I'd be stunned.

I haven't played paintball in over a year, but I'd put myself up against anyone here on any airball course.
