Netball.

"Did I know that Tracey Neville has more England caps than her twin brother Phil?"

No I didn't.

Backup sports: hockey, rugby 7s.

Yup. Me too.

Judo, Wrestling, Boxing!

Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on myself weight-wise.

I got table tennis, with long distance cycling and middle distance swimming as the reserves

Shooting, Lawn bowls and Gymnastics!

And the sloth fell down

Gymnastics! At my age!

I see I am missing things too. Middle distance swimming; middle-distance cycling. Not much variety.

Woofage · « **Reply #11 on:** 23 July, 2014, 02:41:18 pm »

Badminton, table tennis, squash.

Quite like the first two and I even used to play badminton every now and then. Never played squash though - too middle class for me.

I got that lot.

No chance.

Squash, for God's sake!

I may be less suited to long-distance running. I've done two marathons - both under 3 hours. I may be less suited to shooting. In my youth I was NSRA A standard (99 out of 100 at 25 yards). They're right about the weight lifting, though!

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #14 on:** 23 July, 2014, 03:07:27 pm »

Middle-distance athletics, middle-distance cycling, triathlon

Erm. I can sprint slowly (excuse the oxymoron) but anything more than a couple of hundred metres and I'll start walking. Middle-distance cycling, well yes, I suppose I do, but as competitively and as fast as a caterpillar.
Triathlon, well that involves the above plus swimming, so even less chance.

It probably didn't help that I couldn't really tell the difference between "body awareness" and "coordination" - perhaps 3/10 for each was being optimistic?

Judo, triathlon or middle distance athletics

Never done any of them!

Jaded · « **Reply #16 on:** 23 July, 2014, 03:39:52 pm »

Middle distance swimming and cycling.

Lady Cavendish · « **Reply #17 on:** 23 July, 2014, 04:09:36 pm »

1 Middle distance cycling
2 Long distance cycling
3 middle distance swimming

"I may be less suited to gymnastics."

No shit Sherlock.

Middle distance swimming. Which is fair enough, as I'm much the same shape as the Thorpedo.

Middle-distance swimming and cycling. That seems about right - I'll never be a sprint swimmer.

No, but I have lots of buoyancy.

14s, hands like paddles, and a 7 foot span.

Too small. IIRC Thorpe's are size 17. Ian Thorpe + Lotus Europa = high comedy
