Yeah, but did you have fun? AX events provide an adrenalin rush.

Fun is why we do such things. Improving is why it remains fun while we get better. Poor is what we become when we make winning the priority.

Granted, these are timed events and therefore are competitive in nature. Comparing times is also fun, I suppose. Not so fun if you came out to win, and lost.

I am sure that you had a good time, you just didn't say so.

Peace!
