PB vs winning

We talk a lot about how the person you are racing is yourself and that is the most important measure and that you can only control what you do,not what the competition does.At the same time we have medals and AAs and records and TT etc.So which is more important to you? I was musing on this for myself after the SPMA meet.I went my best time in the 100M BR in 5 yr,but was beaten by Jim Clemmons.In the 50 BR I won,but was .3 sec slower than last yr.That got me wondering about goals.So,where do you stand?

    I'll take a PB everytime. A) I'm not going to legitimately win anything, ever. B) It's hard enough just getting 3rd out of 4 or what not. If I have to use beating other folks as a barometer of my awesomeness, then I really do suck as a person.
