I'm leaving that grouped so you can see what you wrote. I have played fairly competitive (subjective) team sports, and in fact was raised on them. Basketball, Soccer, I've played in Adult Co-ed Leagues (since you asked about Ultimate Frisbee) in both Dodgeball and Kickball in WAKA (i'm sure you've seen those leagues, their nationwide). In the latter, I played on two teams that have clinched a division title. You can follow our success at each of the following blog links...
The Munt and Flip
and for last summer (The) Green Team!

I'm well aware that I asked the same question twice. Have you played organized tackle football?

I'll go on to point out that I've never gone on the record as saying these sports aren't challenging, their just in no way as challenging as endurance sports, and most specifically mountain biking. To further my point, I've swam in open waters with 200 other people in my heat and was slapped, punched, kicked and crawled over while attempting to marry speed with going in the right direction.

Are you talking about a purely physical challenge?

I've run with the flu, I've been unable to drive after rock climbing, and I have to pull my brother out of rocks once while kyacking. I'm not bragging, i'm saying when **** happens in endurance sports - you sink or swim. Theres no options otherwise. Challenges occur everywhere, and I'm not going to take the time to figure out if getting out of bed in the morning is worse than first level trigonometry, but in athletics nothing is more demanding than the endurance sports.

Football is the most physically challenging sport I've ever played, but the only endurance sport I've done is cross country. Would you say swimming and rock climbing are greater challenges?
