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?
There's something exciting about many types of racing or competition, whether you loose, DQ, do alright, or (I would asume) win. In swimming, I find, the relay events can make the excitment more intense. But then again I am fairly new to this, and I can accept a possibilty of burning out some day
