Interesting. I've heard that winning the Baja 1000 on a motorcycle would be next to impossible. It's a much, much harder race I'd imagine than it would be from the cockpit of a truck.

I've always wondered if this is a cultural phenomenon, or a more widely human one, the need/desire to be the best at something though. Would it be enough just to race and complete the Baja 1000 on a motorcycle? Or would the value only come in victory?

Why is it so important to be the best at things so narrowly defined - like being able to travel 1000 miles slightly faster than anyone else? Or being the fastest to swim a mile, or run 26, or sprint 100 yards? There is something so arbitrary about our contests. Why don't we have races to see who can read all the works of Shakespeare first (I would lose, and badly), or to befriend 20 strangers, or to make 100 people smile in a public place? Does the nature of the contests we care about reflect our values, or do they - in part- help to define our values? Does winning prove, once and for all, that we're a better person than so many others? Must we then be a better father too? Or a better husband? Or a better citizen?

Didn't mean to rant, I actually thin the Baja 1000 is a fascinating event and I've spent time recently following it. It's definitely a man vs. nature type endurance challenge and there's a lot that can be learned about oneself through such trials. But it does get me thinking sometimes about the nature of competition.

Thanks for the read.

much love,
