Rowing (Crew) can be a lot of fun. Racing requires a lot of power while maintaining timing, balance, technique, etc.

I was going to suggest this. I rowed in college and it was the best thing ever, but if you really want to get into it, it is a huge commitment (usually involves getting up very early). If you have questions about it ask, I don't want to just spew some random info out.

Currently a collegiate rower. The commitment is unfortunate (I wake up 6 days a week at 4:40am), but I obviously feel that its worth it as I continue to it. It helps that the team that I'm on is full of really great people that I love, because they are essentially my friends now(we travel/race frequently on weekends), so I couldn't do this if I didn't get along with 90% of the people on the team.

However, it doesn't have to be this competitive. There are plenty of other teams/leagues that practice in the evenings, not every day, etc.
