Pro  5011  Twin Cities |  Subject: RE: How many of you...I got a "I'm racing to win" sort of vibe out of a lot of these responses, sure. But I think that's different than EXPECTING to win. I'm certainly racing to win...I just happen to fall short most of the time ;-) |

71 | Subject: RE: How many of you... monkeyboy64 - 2012-08-10 7:42 AM WoodrowCall - 2012-08-09 4:56 PM x3 ...but, I always try for an AG podium. As a slow (8:00 mi.) runner, I know winning my AG is out of reach, but I can sometimes get 2nd or 3rd in a small race. timf79 - 2012-08-09 2:40 PM I consider it a win: - everytime I go out and train - every starting line I toe - every finish line I cross and if I ever place in a race, it will be another win on that day. ^^^this X4 Actually doing my first tri (a small local off-road sprint) in September. My goals are to survive training without injury. Get into the water at the start. Survive the swim. Finish. I am always last (or close) in any athletic event. I guess I am too stubborn to stop trying. Using my tri training to help my cyclocross racing in the fall. Maybe I can finish 1 place ahead of DFL. |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: How many of you... I generally just use races as a way to measure my own progress. The other people who show up are completely out of my control, so, expecting to win isn't really something I do. I do win, sometimes AG and every now and again, overall. But to me, it's much more about evaluating the way my training is going in a much larger picture. |

Since I don't really have any enemies, it usually just ends up as this woman lamenting. |
