Ok, so if you were picked for any discipline to play for your country, it could be anything from football to fencing, showjumping to swimming, what would it be?
Personally, much as I loved playing football, cricket & hockey at school, it would have to be rugby cos I was much better at that then anything else. I still have ma 14 shirt as I was an _ce winger  |

"I've represented both Wales and Great Britain "
At what though?
Just to clarify, you don't necessarily need to be any good at anything, just an armchair fan will suffice, but which one would you choose if you could |

I have represented the South Of England Lacrosse team in the British National Championships. It's a scaled down version of a county tournament due to Lacrosse teams not being in enough counties to hold a proper one |

If sex was a sport I reckon I'd be at least a silver medalist, often wonder why it's not a sport, it does keep you fit, it's competitive and challenging and am sure they could find some kind of point system for it. |

I represented Britain in hunting for over 18 years

No, no it's not. It's a passtime, a pleasurable one I'll give you that, but nevertheless it's still a passtime  |

Karate and judo.
If I could choose any sport or event....golf is a pretty stress free and fun afternoon |

Swimming. I was competing with Olympic swimmers up to U15 level but then studies and not growing anymore prevented me continuing at that level. My hands, feet and height were too small to have taken me to national representation . |

I've done it.
The biggest pride, the first time, was receiving the first sportswear clothing, with my country on it.
Nowadays, all those years later, Some of the jerseys are on my office wall. The pride remains.

"County level cross country when I was younger but no higher than that.
It would have to be running in some shape - probably marathon or longer"
100, 200 & 400m were about my limit, hence me being on the wing at rugby, anything further than that and I may as well have stopped in bed |

I was ok at 400 because of the endurance aspect but I was better at the longer distances. Now I definitely prefer half marathon upwards |
