I was just a skinny, non-athletic 16 year old high school kid. Does glee club count?

I also played hockey and kicked boxed, a I was a sk8 boarder then a inliner for a wile and I played basketball for a couple of years...ect... so I guess even though I did not look like it I was.

I've always been kind of athletic but equally lazy. I have been told that I could have been a real good runner or cyclist if I hadn't been so lazy.
I tried Football in High School but it just didn't work for me. I liked Basketball but I really sucked at it. I did sluff school on a regular basis and go Climbing and/or Skiing.
I've skied for almost as long as I've walked and it's still one of my favorite activities. Most of the stuff (sport stuff)I did as a kid I still do today. Cycling, Climbing, and Skiing. The only team sport's I ever got into were volleyball and Drinking games, I guess the drinking games are probably more of an individual sport.

i'VE always been well defined. muslcle-wise.. but i've NEVER been an 'athlete'. I hate excersize. Jocks suck, and i hate sports. i can't watch sports.. i can't play them. I just don't understand them.

He he... my high school cohorts would do double-takes if they could see me now.
I wasn't particularly 'unathletic' in high school, but I certainly could have qualified by my looks. I was quite the scrawny intellectual type. I played on the guys varsity golf team of all things... for three years! By my senior year I came to my senses and discovered a 'talent' for running (ha! people actually said that... as though it takes skill to put one foot in front of the other). I joined the cross country team mid-season and won first place at regionals... who knew? I played a season of soccer (one of my favorite team sports) in highschool and occasionally join an intramural team here at the U of A.
The most significant moment of my athletic career, however, was joining the triathlon team here at the U of A a year and a half ago. It's the off-season now, though, so I can focus most of my energy on climbing and training for my second marathon in December.

i was a cat. 2 road bike racer for a while, but the monomania required by elite level racing was too much.
now i divide my time between climbing, running, and mountain biking. i think that aerobic fitness is more important to climbing than many realise.

Yes, I played various organized sports such as baseball, football, wrestling, soccer, x-country running, track, and hockey.
I like the independence that climbing gives me over those types of sports.
