To compete or not to compete that is the question

My team, Rockwall Aquatic Masters is having a long course meet on 6th July and I am actively trying to convince team mates to sign up. On my blog I was describing my disappointment that more of my team mates had not signed up. One commenter posted the following, "Why do they have to participate? I have more fun going to practice than I do meets. I don't find meets fun anymore." I guess I had assumed that most people enjoy meets and I found it strange that my team mates did not want to sign up. This got me thinking and I wondered why people compete or don't compete? Any thoughts?

  • nice post dan ... can't wait till next spring when i plan on being there at the zones ( am doing the lcm colony zones this weekend ) i'd be interested in purchasing a team warm up ... later, your most southern team member (?) jack cothren I will see you this weekend. For some reason I thought the 1500 sounded like fun. Well, that was before my cat bit me and now I have a swollen, painful wrist. I'll be the one with wrap around my wrist. Jeff, thank you. If we are still here in this area, I plan on swimming a lot at UMD.
