Type II Fun

What is everyone's go to type II fun?

I prefer trail based running activities. Some buddies and I annually do a 120 mile relay race that involves night trail racing and limited opportunities for sleep. I also do at least one ultra a year. I'd like to do a backyard ultra next year.

I've done some high peaks in the Adirondacks, depending on the peak is type II fun.

I want to try a multiday mountain biking event but I focus so much on running and not sure I want shelf that for a year to train for an event like that. Anybody have any experience there or suggest another type II fun.

I had to look this up:
Type 2 fun describes an activity that is painful, miserable, or stressful while it is happening, but becomes deeply rewarding, satisfying, and enjoyable only in retrospect.

Covid got me into cycling.
I’ve always been a big guy so getting my fat ass to do 50+ mile rides has been painful.
Some days, I just want the torture. Might try to beat my fastest 20 mile loops or I see how far I can go. I’ll just pick a city within biking range and just commit to riding there. I’ve had 6 hour rides that had my ass on fire.

Another thing I’ll do for pure torture is I’ll try to keep my eyes open when the granny at my local massage parlor gives me a rub and tug. She knows she gets a good tip if she makes eye contact the whole time. She’s gotta earn that jizzbomb.

That last one sounds more like type III fun.
