Personally, I love speaking and presenting. I'm not bored giving a talk several times, they're different each time, even when you think it'll be the same. Having to compress something down to 30 minutes or extend something to 60 makes a different, plus the things that I've been thinking of that day. I also often try to tie in my talk with a prior talk or with the keynote.
I also don't find the rehearsals boring; in fact, around 24 hours before, I'm already starting to get excited about the upcoming talk. So I'm pretty amped up.
One challenge is multiple talks back-to-back. It's hard to keep that momentum up for several days in a row. I've definitely had occasion to give a great, high-energy talk and then give a talk a day or so later that just feels "off", especially in terms of my energy level.
