That's why I never got much into my finishing position in a race. All I cared about was running a PB if possible. I knew that no matter how hard I trained, how well I built up to a healthy diet, that someone out there was better than me. Or trained harder, had a better pair of shoes, or better coaching. Or had a rabbit to help them stay on pace. But people have an unhealthy competitive urge. I saw the same thing when I played basketball. Pickup games where people took things way too seriously, like the outcome of the game meant they'd get a call from an NBA scout, when most of the players were juco level at most.
