[CQ-Contest] What is RadioSport/Contesting like?

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

I don't know if anyone else gets the RAD-X TV channel on Bell, or what the
US equivalent to that would be,(see link below) but I have been watching a
show called "BOUNDLESS" the past couple years which is basically about 2
guys in their late 30's and late 40's doing these usually long extreme races
all over the world. Sometimes staged over a few or many days.  Running,
biking, paddling, etc.

 

I've never been a runner, but I find there are a LOT of similarities in much
of what they say about the race compared to a long contest on the radio. The
cameras are constantly getting comments from Simon and Turbo, the 2 fellas,
and it's amazing that I have many of these same emotions, feelings,
thoughts, strategies etc. as I am trying to power through a long contest.
(especially since these days I am usually LP and small antennas).  I used to
feel differently some years back when I ran a big tower, yagis and big amps,
but as a popgun, this show is 'relavent'...

 

Anyone else seen this show, or what do you tell your friends, neighbours,
coworkers, that RadioSport is like? (what do you compare it to, iow?)
