This. People who have never been a high performance athlete just don't understand the mentality. It becomes everything, and it's not about the time difference between you and the next guy just the delta between your time and your last time.

I respect the man who ran a 28 minute 10k last weekend for one of the charity events the city outs on. Beat the next guy by almost 4 minutes.
