My friend is both an avid gamer and a Parkour enthusiast (he's gone with Daniel Illabaca and some other good people I don't remember), but me personally I'm a casual footballer.

you had to swim a mile in 12:54... Only doing side or breast stroke. My best was 13:15. ON MY THIRD RUN OF THE DAY.
You should try for the Olympics then, the 1500m world record only stands at 14:10(freestyle). A mile is roughly 1650, so you should be a shoe in...

My sports across my life, or atleast my favorites, include...

Basketball (usually played on the streets with And1 rules).

Tae Kwon Do (five years of study, Black belt, one tournament which I won first place in my division)

Wrestling (I did some wrestling in my senior year in high school after moving to a school that had a wrestling program, which was absent from my last school)

Mixed Martial Arts (I began studying just before I got ahold of my black belt in TKD, I learned basic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai from two of my Tae Kwon Do assistant guest instructors, and along with my wrestling experience, me and friends would go to different locations where we could and train and practice in MMA. I also had three free classes I wrangled from a local MMA gym owner who liked me. But most of it comes from the several books I've bought and the body shot fights that me and friends have had).

I'd love to do some Parkour and/or tricking, but I don't know anyone who's really interested in it around me.

I'm in the marching band, which I consider a sport; we practice in the summer heat, and we compete against other schools for trophies... we're a sport and I'll battle anybody who says otherwise
