(Peaking too soon can be a life-long curse.) This way he got to see what is necessary for him to win if he decides he wants to continue to compete, and he can decide on his own whether it's worth it. Cheers, Scott. (Who had lots of lessons about failure as a kid. ;-)

He shrugs it off and runs back in for more whether he won or lost. He's already making plans for next year's competition. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
