I loosely follow professional sports, but do not really have favorite teams or really care who wins... I tend to root for the underdog. I have followed baseball since I was a kid. I still have some fondness for the Pirates since they were closest to "local" when I was real young, the Giants (Willy Mays fan as kid, then Bonds moved Pirates to Giants), the Mariners (as local to Fairbanks as MLB gets), and of course I also follow the Fairbanks Alaska Goldpanners. I have a little more appreciation for college (amateur) over professional sports, although it is difficult to view men's NCCA Division I basketball as really amateur. Locally I watch some UAF Nanook volleyball, hockey, occassionally basketball, and sometimes still the Goldpanners. I do read the sports page. I do not often watch televised sports except playoff series as time permits. As for participation, since teenage I have been more interested in personal skills | sports than team efforts... things like bowling or skiing where I am really competing against myself. Since June 2000 I have been running, part of the story behind that is in the Equinox Marathon which I first did as a kid. Competitive? I am not racing anybody else (which is good since I am not likely to "win"), but I am timing myself and trying to improve my times. I have always enjoyed walking and hiking, I suppose those are more "recreation" than "sports".
