Golf…don’t you dare laugh! :D
I love running, as you know & have posted pretty swift times at multiple distances.
Golf though, I took up late, early forties, took to it like a duck to water.
Instantly connected with the game with zero coaching, just my natural swing, a thing of beauty & a touch of ability…just a smidgen!
Skiing. Strength in my legs, low center of gravity. I skied a tremendous amount in my 20s to mid 30s, but never as much as I wanted to.
And I started doing long distance cycling in my late thirties. In it for the long haul not for the sprints.
I seem to have not been gifted with fast twitch muscles.
Rapier fencing. Too fat to compete anymore.
Anything that involves the outdoors and is active.
I used to do everything sporty..Softball, volley ball ( indoors and outdoors) floor hockey,Inter mural sports competition( always loved participating but never won..too competitive with several Provinces competing over a a week).
I like hiking where I am now in the Mountain Park System and it involves some climbing ,hiking across streams, walking across old bridges and carrying a well packed backpack. Of course I always bring my camera to photograph on the way, one as a precaution in unfamiliar terrain as I take a picture of the trail in front and behind me , should I get lost I just check my photographs.
Never been lost so far while hiking but did get lost on a golf course once..the course trail ended in crescents and a mixed bag of signs…a badly designed golf course…I just backtracked until I recognized the beginning.
I feel tired of course when I get back home but the muscles contract and it makes me feel better.
Hopefully this Summer there are no hindrances such as wild fire smoke from the west coat again?
@ucme -I’d swear you got your answer from my book:How to Connect With the Game WIth Zero Coaching,Just My natural Swing, A Thing O’ Beauty & A Cannon.
My husband thinks I’d be good at the decathlon, definitely high hurdles.Why he thinks this, Idk.
I wonder if he’s ever met me before.
@zenvelo -Lucky you!
My entire family skis-except me. That ship has sailed.
@RedDeerGuy1 -That is something I would’ve loved to try. It looks like a blast!
@Inspired_2write -I will be starting my outdoor walks again soon and always take a camera.I LOVE that!
There is so much to see and you never know what you’ll run into :)
Racing small sailboats. Not anymore, I’ve been sidelined by age and arthritis and stuff, but I was small and quick and had an excellent grasp of the subtleties of the sport.
I don’t do it anymore, and sometimes I miss it, but now my major sport is dog walking, with gardening in the summer. :-)
@lucillelucillelucille I see where he’s coming from I sent over a drone you see
You would break records at the pole vault so long as the spring in your cane held out :D
@ucme- It doubles as a pogo stick.
Swimming. But I don’t swim now.
@kritiper -Still like that. I’m not as fast but I still like it.
@Jeruba -Haha! How do you know when you can turn pro?
Probably swimming or maybe weightlifting. I’m a woman, but I have serious shoulders and am naturally muscular even in my worst shape. I don’t necessarily like to swim, I’m not good at it, but if we’re going just on body type in peak condition I am probably built to swim. But lifting if I don’t need to be lean, lol.
@ANef_is_Enuf -Lifting is awesome.! I still haven’t stopped that (light weights) and it’s been over 20 years.
@canidmajor – Yes! I just happen t know where you could find one!
Ancient/medieval martial arts.
Track and field was my strongest when I was young. When I was in peak shape I was built like a rock climber though.
@Zaku -Surely you joust! :)
which ones?
High school and college baseball, middle age competitive in road racing, currently napping !
@lucillelucillelucille No, I don’t joust, but I have always related naturally to athletics as physical conflict and maneuver, but struggled to care at all about doing non-contact sports focused on balls unless they were to be thrown to hit someone.
My favorite actual sport was orienteering – the sport of charging around a natural landscape with a map of it trying to find spots marked on the map.
My natural body type (if it were more developed) is part Scottish highlander and part Germanic warrior.
@Zaku -Yep. Definitely combat for you!
@Darth_Algar -I brought a boyfriend’s bowling team from first to last place.They were not happy.
Did you know that you can win money for terrible scores? I was happy
