for the 5km runners, how old are you, because you are both a lot better thn me and I am fairly decent for my age - low 23 when I was 12 (now 13 very out of practice)

I'm 14, but I've only run 1 5K; 25:48.

 

[brododragon]

Dang, the most I run at once is 1 mile during PE.

Same here, and only in elementary school. I think my fastest mile was like a 10:45 and that was in 4th grade, got worse ever since.

Also, @brododragon what stick do you use? I have a school stick (the head is a Maverik Havok but I have no clue what the shaft is) that I like as a backup but my main stick is the STX Stallion 200 D pole.

Nike Vapor Head/Vandal Stick. All I did was take the third shooting string off and mess with the tensions a bit and it was great. The head does warp easily, but it doesn't affect anything too much. It's pretty popular, so you could probably find it at Dick's Sporting Goods.

I might start running, my stamina sucks. We'll see if I get unlazy enough to get into a routine lol

Hah, puny mortal. My stamina is non-existent.

I’ve been playing soccer for about 5-6 years and I love it.

I used to like soccer, but my coach never played me. Finally, at the 3rd to last game of the season, my dad talked to her. (Keep in mind: the last two games where black-flag weather.) So, in the 2nd to last game, she let me play the whole first half. To my surprise, she also made me start the second half. I motioned that I needed a break, so she subbed me out. But then, five minutes later, I was subbed back in. After the game, I couldn't speak because of exhaustion. The last game was similar. Oh, and to add on to that, I was congested and I have basically no stamina, so that was fun. I overheard her telling the assistant coach that I was carrying the team, so that's why she put my in the whole game. That's the last year I played soccer.

Wait a minute, you don't spend all night watching a football game on Superbowl Sunday then console yourself for hours on end the following day because the refs did not make an easy call and cost your team the game???? Amateur

IT STILL HURTS

Absolute amatuer, you are correct.

I ain't got nothing to hurt BOOOIIIIISSS

At least your team actually made it to the Super Bowl (I mean, we have, but not in forever)...

Nah. At least Bill O'Brien is not your GM am I right?

Good training though, isn't that what the top athletes do every so often?

yeaI lots of elite runners and triathletes train in Boulder here in Colorado for a few months a year because of the altitude.

I don’t do any fields events right now, but I did long jump in middle school because I had time to. Now in high school, practices are a lot longer, so I don’t really have time to do field events with homework. My main sort is cross country with the 5K though. I’m hoping to go under 18 next season if not faster. My PR is a 19:04 from last season. I’m at elevation though, so I could most likely do 18:30 if at sea level.

GET IT! Breaking the 18 minute barrier is a fun milestone.

Almost No one in the community plays cricket

 

[Kaneki Uchiha]

I got a serious question, Why are there very few cubers that play contact sports. There is only 1 guy I know that has played contact sports and also cubes (he doesn't anymore)

i play cricket and football

I'm 17 but I got my current PB when I was 16, hoping to beat it when lockdown is finally over.

Lacrosse, Soccer, Hockey, Track

 

[I'm A Cuber]

Nobody really does, not even actual Americans.

Excuse me?

refs did not make an easy call

That’s because there was no call to be made

 

[Ayce]

My 5k best is around 20 minutes

 

[Kaneki Uchiha]

My pb at 800 m is 2min

Hmm, I think you are right. Why don't we take a look at this "Pass interference" from my boy Georgie

I think that soccer players (no offense but the pros flop hard) have been tapped harder then that without trying to fake an injury. Like was that really enough to warrant a PI?

The refs in hockey are garbage. The refs in soccer are trash. Lacrosse refs are ok but nothing close to amazing.

As a referee myself I think that you are right about there being some bad refs. Most of the time though, they are just an honest and good person looking to get some extra money and just trying to make an honest earning and then get crap from parents that care too much about a 7th-grade rec basketball game. I don't ref anything aside from basketball as of right now since winter is really the only time I'm not playing sports so I can't comment on any of your examples but I can tell you that referees in basketball are given so much crap they don't deserve. I do think that professional and NCAA referees deserve to be more criticized because that is not only their full-time job but they also have to go through much more in-depth training then HS or rec/club refs. But when it comes to stuff like recreation, people care way too much then they should, especially the fans that aren't even playing.

My pb at 800 m is 1m50 ish

That's insane!

My martial arts instructors recently re-opened their gym for the higher level students. I was so sore afterwards from not having done anything for the last 2 months LOL

I feel you. Yesterday I had football conditioning, then I did some 5 on 5 lacrosse scrimmages and that killed me. It was like 1 hour of running + 1 on 1 lineman matchups + playing lacrosse for 2 hours (Its very taxing on the body to play lacrosse in any position for 2 hours straight). The worst part is I had to bike home from the field with all my stuff including my 6-foot stick . By the time I got back my muscles felt so awful, like if you were to have jello for legs but it was the stiffest jello that has ever existed. At least I have a lot of lacrosse balls that I use to roll out with.
