What sport do you take part in and what’s your best result

I’m curious to know whether you take part in sport, whether for fun, competitive, what your best result is and what your current and future goals are. I just wonder – most people did it at school/uni but give it up afterward. I was the opposite – I didn’t start doing any sport until about 4 years ago.

Whether it’s individual or team sport, or just your best bench-press, (and okay, if you won $50K in Poker too) tell all!

Sport: I am a middle-long distance runner. I also do boxing, swimming and cycling for cross-training.

Best results: Best marathon result is a 3hr35 marathon last year, but this season after changing diet and dedicating more time to training, I took 6 minutes off my best ½ marathon time and now run them consistently under 90 minutes.

Future goals: I’m aiming to run the New York marathon 2nd November in under 3hrs 15. Next year I plan to train to reach a sub-3hr, plus do an Ironman…and then in Feb 2010 run the Speights Coast to Coast.

used to play pool/snooker for the apa

had highest ranking of #2 (8ball) and #4 (9ball) in nz for jnrs, cant remember my mens ranking around 50 or so.

won the south island open 8-ball and runner up in the 9ball (then flew back to auckland at 7am to sit burs geo at 930

had a few other finals but those 2 stand out for me, as i shouldnt have gone and was my final jnrs tournments

had some ok results in the Oceania mens tournaments aswell (playing as a jnr) knocked off some big names.

got to play against Mike Massey (world champion) when he was here, got smashed 9-1 or something.

highest snooker break of 117

didnt fare to well in the tournaments as there wasnt really any jnrs stuff when i played so was stuck playing the likes of Dean O Kane

My sport is life,

and I consistently win at it

I play rugby. Made Auckland development couple of times (sometime ago now). Slowly getting back on track. Got voted as best and fair player of the year this season, if that counts.

Frisbee.

Best results - NZ champ numerous times
6th in European champs last year
13th in World champs just recently.

Basketball when i was in high school and university. Dont play anymore. Best result was making the Korus NZ U18's when i was 16 but had to withdraw because of injury. Was ranked in top 10 players in NZ for my age when i was 16 for 2 years.

Made a couple of age group Waikato and North Island soccer teams as well

Football

Had trials for derby county(15 yrs old), hertha berlin(17 yrs old) and FC nuremberg (17-18 yrs old)

My highest achievement was making the youth squad for FC nuremberg but never graduated out of that as i was deemed to old ( age of 18 )

now just training and playing few games here and there.

My biggest ever result was defeating Te Aute in a complete boil over at 1st XV level, we fought like lions that St. Crispins day!


that and winning the Victoria Park mixed open touch comp back in 2000, fuck we were a good team.

13th or so at world long distance champs in triathlon last year in my age group, 25-29...no depth at all tho,and pretty weak field.

46th(?) in world olympic distance triathlon champs in switzerland in 2006. much more depth in that race.

golf was/is my sport, best achievement was being the leading nezealander in the first round of the under19 strokeplay champs at ashburton
