What sports do you do and why?

A few weeks ago I was discussing with the Wonderful Man how he might like to celebrate his 50th birthday next year..... a party perhaps? A family holiday? An extravagant gift?
"No" he said, he would "like to do a Triathlon". shock So, he has been training by swimming (in the sea), cycling and running - and yesterday he took part in his first Classic Triathlon. (He didn't stop grinning throughout - he loves having an adventure, and the more arduous it is the better.)
It got me wondering about sports - apart from swimming (purely for health reasons) I don't do any. What about you?
