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 would take a PB over place any time. When I tell my parents my meet results I always start with my times. They always ask me for my places. I have to usually think about that part since to me, I'm racing myself more than the field - except Nationals. Then it's a little more even of PB and placing.
