Endurance sports are the only real challenge because its not about who caught lucky breaks, or who's team showed up in force that day.

Just curious, have you ever played ultimate frisbee? Football? Basketball? I mean at a serious, competitive level.

Its a challenge because no ones there to carry you, you can't sit the bench and let your team take the heat when you can't. You're left out there, for long periods of time, on your own. Theres no one to confer with, or to give you support. Its a challenge because, as your body breaks down, and your muscles and nervous system tell you to do anything but keep going, you do.

Team sports are a different kind of challenge, but a challenge none the less. Have you every played on a serious, competitive basketball, ultimate frisbee, football etc. team?

Endurance sports are not just a test of a mans body, but his mind and spirit as well. And as I write that line, I suppose I have to agree with you, Anti. Some folks are born with that temperament, they know how to keep going. Some just never will have it, no matter how much they want it. I guess maybe that's why there are team sports.

When was the last time you played a team sport competitively?
