I have always been competitive, but I think the gene was dormant until I entered a couple of swim meets. Now I want to win at everything!
Example: We had an Easter competition at my office - guess the number of jelly beans in a jar and win some prizes. Well, I didn't win and I am bummed! It's not like I need or wanted the prizes, I wanted to win.
Is there such thing as Competitors Anonymous?
Anyone else with the competitive gene?
How far would you go to win?

Mr. Rasmussen had better look out. :D
As for me...I enjoy the thrill of a good win and I can do without the downer of a loss. Either way I enjoy swimming, and it's health benefits are the primary reason I am involved in the sport (at least that's what I keep telling people).
