What is your favorite sport to participate in?

[Roy Hersh]

Not for couch potatoes, doesn't everyone participate in at least one?

[Tom D.]

Golf, assuming you define "sport" somewhat broadly

Several others come to mind, but while the spirit is still willing, the body is no longer able (at least not without large doses of ibuprofen)...

It used to be volleyball - the only sport that I can say with a straight face I'm good at - but I haven't played in a couple of years now. So I guess I'll have to go with running since that's what I've been doing so much of for the last couple of years!

Cycling- Got into cycling around 11 and raced until I was 16. Been in and out of it over the years, but have been steady riding since '97.

Weight Lifting- Been working out since the late 80’s. Into more old school Wieder principles; adjust to my age.

Soccer- the one out of the three mentioned that I am actually good at.

[Eric Menchen]

Snowboarding, including backcountry. I used to play a lot of volleyball, but like Glenn, haven't in several years.

[Marc J.]

Skiing, mountaineering & golf are my top three sports. I've spent quite a few years ski racing and I've covered quite a bit of the globe in search of the perfect run. As far as mountaineering goes, I have climbed many of the 14,000 ft. peaks in the Sierra Nevada and I'm also working on the Seven Summits (two down, five to go!). I also rock climb quite a bit (sport as well as aid) and I'm thinking about getting back into rugby. My wife isn't a big fan of the rugby idea so I may take up surfing instead.

On my list of runs to do is the Valle Blanche. You could combine that with the Mont Blanc on a single trip pretty easily and knock off one of the summits, depending on your definition of Europe. Or have you already done that one?

[Marc J.]

I knocked off Mt. Elbrus (Russia), which is generally considered the tallest mountain in Europe. I then climbed Kilimanjaro and next on the list is Aconcagua. I haven't skiied the Valle Blanche, but it is on my short list of places to visit - if I could just find the time....

When young my first love was baseball and I played a bunch of positions from pitcher in softball, to catcher in hardball to 2nd base and left field in both. I was never that good at tennis although I made my HS team, but was a better teacher of children at camp. My all-time favorite sport was skiing, by far, and my fanaticism equaled what later became Port wine.

[Michael Hann]

Mountain backpacking and mountain hunting, for example hunting for elk close to treeline. To stay in shape for these occasional activities I do a lot of exercising, but I would not call those the sports.

[Andy Velebil]

Cycling. I started racing road bikes at 13 and haven't turned back since. When I was in high school I spent a great deal of time on the road, traveling state to state for all the biggies back then. It was a great time and I learned one thing pretty early on as a result. Cyclists don't make much money and living out of hotels most of the year sucks. So I went to college instead but the racing bug never totally left and I still race (Cat-2, masters) regularly today. I always joke you'll have to pry my cold dead fingers off my handlebars one day...
