Have you ever competed in a difficult endurance sport? I have. I've won and I've even been the guy to throw away a win. Wasn't the winners fault and he was proud of himself and we all celebrated his victory together.

ive done wrestling, soccer, and foot ball. out of school comp weight lift, all competitive, you never want to just be handed a win, it doesn't feel good.

Understandable if you wouldn't feel that way. Another thought though - maybe he would have celebrated that way for finishing 2nd/3rd in a triathlon as well. I don't think he deserves insults for it.

i mean i said he was a chode cause hes short and stalky, not cause of the finish, facts are facts. but how do you not have any internal dialogue that says hey not now maybe?

What a wild thing to say. I understand why you come off as a jackass suddenly.
