Yeah Gippsland does that to you doesn't it! I managed to waste my time with a lot of music mostly, but i had a bit of a run with some other sports:
Hockey - This sport was once my great love, until i got older and unfit towards the end of school. In the junior team in year 9, a shock inclusion in the senior team in year 10. By year 11 i was still a reliable half with a bit of dash. By year 12, i was down to making 10 minute cameos off the bench before i was spent. Ah for the fitness of youth again!
Soccer - Only a brief fling, played in the school team in year 10 for a little while.
Squash - Played for about 5 or 6 years. Made my way up to A grade eventually, but realised it is was a big jump from B to A grades.
Racquetball - Same venue, same players, yet not as fun for me as squash. Didn't end up winning much at all playing craply in C and B grades.
Basketball - Played about 5 seasons, but had to pull out during 5th season because of bowling. Ended up playing in two losing grand finals, one in which i had a shot to level the game with 3 seconds to go. And i missed!
Motor racing - Still do this a little, but not as much anymore due to uni and work. Racing mostly on dirt down in Boisdale, which hosts rounds of the Victorian Hillclimb series and Victorian Autocross series. Got a second place when these boys were in town last, so i'll take that! Used to race a bit around Victoria too, at Sandown and the best track of all, Phillip Island!
Lawn Bowls - My dad got me into this late last year, and i've gotta say, i love it! Not as much as tenpin bowling, but it sure is an awesome game.
That's about all for now.
