What is your greatest athletic achievement or moment?

[Anonymous]

Did you have a game winning goal? Make the high school team when you thought you couldn't? Tell me specifics!

Mine is playing on my football team the year we almost won state.

[WhiteSteve]

Greatest achievement was playing on my old semipro football team, won three league championships in a row, won the AA National championship my 2nd to last year, then my last year we moved up to AAA, the highest level, and we won the AAA division league championship AND went on to win the AAA National Championship and finished ranked #1 in the country. Semipro, like I said, so don't be too impressed, haha, it's Pop Warner for grown men. But it is what it is, and it meant a lot to me.

Personal moment was when I was playing at linebacker, a kid caught a slant underneath me, and I absolutely LIT THIS KID UP. Knocked him unconscious and everything. I even had the prescience of mind to yell "WOOOOOO!!! RAAAAASCLAAAAAT, DREAD!!!", hahaha, cuz he had these long dreadlocks. Wish I had the film, I saw it once and his dreads went flying, which makes the hit look better than it was. So dramatic, haha. Then I realized he was out and felt like a dick for celebrating, but that shit happens. But that was a pretty cool moment, made me feel like a big man, haha.

[rthomas43]

Don't downplay the fact that it was semipro. I've played a little semipro and a lot of those boys can ball!!

[rthomas43]

Find the vid of that hit and send that ish my way!

[WhiteSteve]

Thanks man. I always used to joke that there were probably high school teams In TX that could probably take us, haha. Sometimes I wish I could have played high school ball down in Texas or Florida or something, but I probably wouldn't have sniffed the field. Massachusetts starter = Texas waterboy, haha.

[WhiteSteve]

Hahaha, wish I had that more than anything. Not to worry though, I'm pretty sure I have the game tape from the time I was the one getting knocked over onto Queer Street, hahaha.

I think my greatest moment so far has been when I was a goalie for my hockey team 4 years back and we were playing the last game of the semi-final stage in a tournament and basically I single-handedly kept our team floating by keeping the puck out of the net for the entirity of the game, while we managed to sneak in a lucky goal by the end of 2nd period. Unfortunately, I couldn't actually play in the final, because I had a fever, which rose almost immidiately after the semi-final game. Thankfully my team still managed to win the final, so it wasn't all for nothing.

Getting out of bed... I don't have much time to work out but since school is almost over I will have more time to hit the gym. I'd like to get some aerobic classes. And frankly I'm excited to be doing something for myself.

[rgb008]

When I ran 7 miles nonstop for the first time. That's my farthest distance. But I've never done that again since running that much everyday injured my legs. So I keep it to 3-5 daily now.

[Asker]

Have you seen a doc about any ligament damage?

[rgb008]

No I didn't. I just didn't run and it healed. It was over a year ago, I can run perfectly fine now.

[Asker]

You should train up to get back to 7 miles! And more... ;)

[rgb008]

Id love to one day.

[Asker]

how do you not get wedgies running that long?

[rgb008]

you wear clothes the correct size haha

[Asker]

haha but even when i run in my boxer briefs i get irritation. what underwear do you wear?

[rgb008]

Regular underwear…? If anything, the shorts would bother me the most. I used to wear Nike running shorts, but I hated the material. Now, I stick to spandex and I have had no issues whatsoever.

[Asker]

Spandex would be the best for not causing irritation, but no guys really wear that lol. Plus it's not good to not wear underwear as a guy haha

[rgb008]

Yo could try compression shorts.

[Asker]

maybe. thanks. do girls not wear underwear when they wear spandex?

[rgb008]

I still do haha. I have no idea about other girls.

[Asker]

doesn't that make horrible panty lines?

[rgb008]

Not for me, nothing horrible. But I'm not concerned about panty lines when I'm working out. I'm more focused on actually working out rather than my shorts.

[Willow4]

I used to figure skate and I ride horses but I have to say I've never been more proud than when I achieved my first forward roll! Took me long enough lol :)

[SüßeJäger]

I won 1st place in the state sporting clays championship. The same year and a couple years after, I had one of the highest averages in the state and was in the top 1% in the country. I won thousands of dollars and enough to pay for all my shooting, traveling, hotels, etc. with some left over. I made the state team for 3 years in a row until I slowed down my shooting, now I have almost quit. I want to get back into it sometime. I was good.

[WhiteSteve]

Remind me to never borrow money from this sharpshooter, hahaha

[SüßeJäger]

hahaha I don't shoot people, don't worry. I leave that to my hired guys. They normally don't shoot you the first offense and there's a good chance you will still be able to use your arms in the wheelchair :)

[WhiteSteve]

Hahaha

[bleedingquadrophenic]

20k in a little less than 1 hour 40 was the best I achieved. Got winded as fuck but I think it wasn't bad. Averaged out to running at slightly 12 km an hour for upwards of an hour and a half

I've made a few game winning saves, but that's nothing special. Just the rare one

[rthomas43]

Few.
High school baseball team was nationally ranked in the top 10 and #1 in Texas.

Selected to play in the Greater Houston all star high school football game.

[WhiteSteve]

Eh, big deal. Texas high school football is well known to be weak. Haha, for real though, RESPECT.

[Theguywhomadeurday]

But best is yet to come so I dont take these as my best.

[hawkeye92]

Mine are more personal achievements. I've completed two marathons and in April I improved my 5k time by 2 minutes with 18:03.

[kambo_trick3y]

I managed to bicep curl 4 Cheesesteaks at the same time, 2 in each hand.

[sarmac]

i came in first place for my school at a track meet!
and i had a game winning interception when i was playing football with friends once (that counts right?) i suck at all sports so that was a pretty big deal for me :P

[WhiteSteve]

Game-winning pick! Big time players make big time plays in big time moments!

[gingerrr]

I was the finisher in my junior high schools 4 by 100 meter relay. We were behind the whole way and somehow I surpassed 4 other runners and got first place.

[fiego]

I did an Ironman a couple years ago. It took me about 6 months to prepare for it but was a great achievement.

[Willow4]

You must be very fit! :)

[Sex_Panther]

I've walked 22 miles with a 30lb. backpack on.

That's all I got.

[hawkeye92]

Military?

[Sex_Panther]

No, that's a 70lb backpack for 12 mis.

[hawkeye92]

Was this hiking or a ruck march? Impressive regardless!

[Sex_Panther]

A march.

[man32]

Won judo state championship in 2011 and it was great. Threw a guy outright on my way to gold ;-)
