>> I'm a non-competitive athlete

Honest question, but what do you mean by this?

I've played competitive team sports my whole life and have a very competitive drive. If its not team sports, its rock climbing where I feel like I'm competing against myself or my brain trying to solve a route. If I'm hiking, I'm competing against the clock or how far I can go. If I'm lifting weights, its about how many sets I can do and what weight in order to push myself.

So even in what most people deem "non-competitive" activities I'm still competing against a clock, or my body, or my brain.

I'm just curious what you meant is all.

EDIT: Typical HN. Ask a question and get downvoted. Logging off the day - thanks.

I'm not competing against anyone but myself, I'm not trying to meet any specific weight/size/etc cutoff for competition, the point is exercise and improvement and not any official or unofficial competition.

Someone might train for marathons, body building, etc. I don't.
