RE: Not sure who coined the phrase

Can you think of anyone you know who is just a "little bit" competitive, no matter what the contest is ? It seems to me that once a person tastes competition, they either then live a life of milque-toast or everything in life becomes a contest, whether it is against 20 participants, the clock, or simply to best their own records. :)
Some of us may exhibit a "doesnt really matter, cause it is just for fun" but if you watch closely, I bet you will see the challenge sitting there, waiting........

That's the top quote for 2016 so far. I doubt it will be touched, sans 1bad comes up with something down the road. I think you nailed my ass to the wall on this one. On the bike I'm taking lines like I'm still racing only lots slower. I post and am ready to argue the point till you wear out, give up, I win! Racing against Ivan for that tre abstract and wins the "DTT" in theory as well as practice.
And I'm telling you as corny as it sounds I kept on saying to myself all week long, 'I'm going to win' was the mental mantra. Come race day I'd win. That rain race, right before they dropped the flag I said I'm going to lead that race and I did... when the lead guy pitted first... not how I planned it, but I'll take the mindset either way. So I proved to myself I could set the head game in play, look back at it, yeah, I'm still in the game.
I forgot where I heard it, but recently someone said and I'll paraphrase it: "No one gives a shit about your win, but second place." Was that 1bad's quote? So it sort of comes full circle is what you did that counts in your "world of comp'n'toast."
