Why I compete....

Competition.

I was asked the other day why I compete.

The truth-- IT IS FUN!

The other truth-- I LIKE IT!

AND the reality it provides a marker or a litmus test for my fitness and the quality of my training.

Competition clearly shows my abilities. Competition clearly shows what I can and cannot do... I am putting myself to the test. I am demonstrating what I have been working so diligently for and I am putting my hard work to the test.

AND I learn from it.

Competition shows me my strengths and my weaknesses. Competition shows me where I need to spend more time in my training cycle..... those things I need to develop, refine and improve proficiencies....


Competition is why we train after all, isn't it?
