I'm not sure, but I think it's more common than not, for people to make a game or competition of just about anything.
At least I know that's how I play Life.
I make a game out of just about everything when I can.
From competing with my "crew" during out training sessions (with in reason)
To even when a person tells me they "love me".
Example:
My wife: "I love you."
Me: I love you more...but as you know I'm just competitive in that way..hahahaha
Why is this my topic today?
On my commute to the gym and back home I see a variety of people. If by chance someone is out riding their bike in the same direction, we have now entered the "Tour de France" and I am going to kick that person's ass...NO MATTER WHAT!
As I'm riding home from the gym today, this fast mover was almost effortlessly speeding away as I got up out of the saddle and pumped my already weary legs to catch them.
1 mile...no gap closer
2 mile...they must be getting tired they're slowing a wee bit
3rd mile...I get within 50 yards.
3.5 mile...I notice they have an electric assisted bike to commute with
4.0 mile...My lungs were exploding but I passed them. FUCK ME, but I won!
Yea, everything is fun and games until you have to give it a name!
