Since we have a new sports forum (great idea guys), I thought it would be interesting to find out what all of you tech geeks, social degenerates and couch potatoes do to keep from turning into a Michael Moore clone or to get some stress out of your body.

Until a few years ago the only sport I did, was the 100 meter girlfriend humping. When the bitch walked out of my life, I realised that I had put on a lot of flubber. Since I hate diets, I dug up my training suit and sneakers and started moving again.

This is what I do at the moment on a weekly basis:

• Running (jogging actually): a 7 to 10km run 3 times
• Powertraining: maximum 5 sessions of each an hour
• Thai/kickboxing and English boxing: 2 training sessions of 2 hours a pop

Yeah, I do spend a lot of my free time to it, but it's a great way to blow off some steam after an exciting day of dealing with nagging customers/employees and project deadlines...

How does a round of golf usually take? In Belgium it still is kind of an elitist snob sport, so I don't know shit about it.

Oh yeah, except for one thing...

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

I work out, and recently began attempting rollerblading....not that good yet, but hopefully I will get better :)

I used to curl. I did that for about 9yrs. My Jr. Ladies team came in 3rd in Ontario one year...I was really proud of that. Tried picking it up again about 2yrs ago, but I never seem to have enough time in a day anymore...I really miss it :(

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

i would love to watch you curl. :Naughty: video or stfu plz. :p

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

[quote=speciale]3-4 times a week, do you work? what is your handicap?[/quote]

haha yes i do work. my boss is as avid a golfer as i am so we cut out early sometimes to get a round in. take for instance tomorrow, we'll work about 4 hours and then hit the links. also there is a nice course about ten minutes from my house that has an after 4pm special that is all you can golf with a cart for $10, so i play there a lot. i think my handicap is about a 19 but i'm not sure. i never said i was good, especially because i like to drink on the course. i dont do it so much for sport, but more for relaxation. nice to get out of work and spend a few hours on the course with some friends drinking beers.

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

we are all closet jocks eh?

basketball(2-3 times a week) golf(once a week, about a 16 handicap) running(just to keep the fat off) weightlifting(curls for girls!) snowboarding(get out about 30 times a season plus about one trip out to the Rockies a year) skateboarding(mini-ramp only these days, my knees can't handle the street anymore)

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

oh I think lax = lacrosse?

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

I run 5 days a week, training for a marathon right now. I ride my road bike about 10-20 miles everyday. My mountian bike is out of service till I get it fixed, but we often hit trails on the weekends. I play league softball. I also ski. When I lived in Pennsylvania I used to only get about 15 days in if I was lucky. Now that I'm close to Tahoe hopefully I'll be pulling closer to 30. I golf occasionally. I'm pretty bad... but its fun putting down some beers and smacking the ball around. And tennis. Been playing tennis since I was 4. Trying to get in a league once softball is done.

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

palmer, r u trying to make us look bad :D

props to u on the marathon training!

every year i say i am going to run the twin cities marathon but i never do it. i train to about 10 miles and after that i am done.

oh and the skiing bizness. we should get a ms meetup going for this coming winter. i am thinking maybe Utah, Colorado, Montana, and maybe even Cali or Wyoming...

Specialized Hard Rock Pro hardtail with a Marzocci MX Comp ETA fork, Time Atak clipless, pretty basic rig but it does the trick :Bingo:

You ride?

Re: Mercury Sweat - what sport does everone do?

I used to ride quite a bit. Not enough time for it nowadays but damn do I miss it. I've got a classic. I believe it's from '91. Fat City Cycles Wicked Fat Chance. Anyone here seen one of those? They're quite rare nowadays. Custom paint job, Deore XT (that was top of the line back then) and all of the other fixings. It's taken a massive banging and still keeps on ticking. They don't make them like that anymore. Damn shame.
