Having run a marathon myself, knowing I would not be the first to finish, understand what you are trying to say. The win is in finishing the race meeting or exceeding the objectives set for myself.
I feel this is summarized best in the second half of the post starting with the line, “So maybe winning isn’t everything, but you certainly have to be willing to give it your all and try.”
Thanks for your comment and never allow yourself to give less than your best!
Jason

Why do so many people enter marathons knowing that they will not be running for first place? They compete to see if they can complete the race.

Many Olympians participate in the event even when they know there chance of winning is extremely low.

We can learn a lot by competing. We can learn where our limits are and where we can take them next. We can learn if we ever want to participate again.

Perhaps it is understanding what our best is, what are we capable of doing and then doing it.
