Favorite sport vs. Best sport (Page 2)

Best - Running

Favorite - Running, especially going long.

I can honestly say that I like all three the same, and I enjoy them quite a lot.  I get Runner's High before I even get to the running lol  Just the anticipation of running sends off a rush of endorphins, I enjoy it that much.  With biking I enjoy it and lately I have even been getting a rush of endorphins from it now and then, that is relatively new, within the past couple of weeks.  No endorphin rush with swimming but I've always enjoyed swimming because you're in a kind of separate universe away from the world in your own little cocoon.

I suck equally at all three

The running seems to respond the most, started at 12mm+ and now I'm moving into 9mm splits.  I hit them, but not consistently with every workout.  That has been over four months of training.  With the bike I was at 12 MPH in January and I'm still there.  With swimming I had 4 lessons and I'm stuck at 3:00/100m.  I'm starting group swim this morning with my new tri coach, 2 times a week.

I love all three sports equally though the bike does scare me slightly - I've fallen (badly) one too many times. However, as I discovered this weekend in my 2nd tri, when I'm equipped with a roadbike, the bike is, by far, my best event - definitely FOP.

On the swim, I'm a pretty strong swimmer, so I make in out pretty quickly without expending too much energy.

The run - SIGH - however much I love it, is not my best event. I am just so darn slow.

Best: Swim

Favorite: Running

My favorite sport to play is Basketball.  But now that I'm over 40 it takes my back too long to recover from!

My favorite sport to watch is a tie between Football and Hockey (Excited about RG3 to the Skins and Go Caps!)

As for tri's my favorite by far is cycling.  I love the speed, the gear, and the distance you can travel in a single workout.  So much more able to enjoy the scenery.  My least favorite (and worst) is swimming.  You can tell that from my logs. 

As for my best in tri?  I'm pretty MOP swimming, upper MOP in cycling and running.  I am usally surprised to find my run the highest rank of the 3. 

Favorite sport is (american) football, but one fantastic leg injury on a non-contact play was enough to convince me to not play it.

Best sport is far and away is cycling. I'm starting to enjoy running more and more, but I can't see the day I'm a better runner than a rider, I'm simply built for riding. Swimming is the just way you have to go to get on the bike, I try to go faster so I can get on the bike sooner.

Best - swimming

Favorite - Cycling

The run just gets me to the finish line...

Ditto - exactly.

Considering how long I *hated* running, this is a pretty amazing thing for me to realize.  Of course, now that I'm pretty much done with running for 2012, I may have to teach myself to change my preferences. ;-)

I have thought alot about this and don't really know.  My strongest, or where I feel most comfortable, it the run.  I have had some cool moments running, and have run at important times in my life to deal with things.  I love long runs, and in weather such as snow, rain, etc.

I also love the time in the pool, it is very calm and relaxing.

I am slowly warming up to the bike, but it is taking longer than I thought it would, but I had a great ride this weekend, so I am getting there.

So, though I would have to say there are things I like about all three, my strongest, and favorite is the RUN

My favorite sport to watch live: baseball
My favorite sport to watch on TV: swimming
My favorite triathlon sport: I like all three equally! Isn't that bizarre!

However, I *love* marathon swimming the most out of a S/B/R sport (as opposed to track cycling or 400m hurdles).

Best sport: sport karate (precursor to MMA). Won all three of my divisions in an open tournament at 3 weeks into the sport, started winning money at it several months in and kept it up for several years.

Best triathlon sport: swimming, by a long shot.
