In my own mind, I tell myself to destroy the competition - but that would get very depressing if that was all I was looking to do. I use the competition to help me go faster times! It's taken me a long to time to "forget" the times of my youth & appreciate the improvements I'm making now & I don't need to get discouraged by comparing myself unfavorably to others. One of the best things about masters is our ability to truly enjoy the successes of our competition - even if we have fierce rivalries! Just my 2c
