I need you to fail.
My ego needs an identity, it needs someone to help so that I can feel I have purpose in life. I need you to fail so that I can help you and say "look what I did, it is part of my purpose for being" even if only spoken to myself.
I need you to fail so that I can win, and then I will feel important...for a moment. Then I need you to fail again, perhaps next Saturday.
When you proceed not to fail, I will change categories so that I can find some new people to fail and help me feel important. Perhaps I will race an older category.
I need you to be starving so that I can give my life purpose and collect food for the hungry. I need to fill my soul with small achievements of helping those who have failed.
Your failure gives me identity in the World. Your failure helps me to be perceived as compassionate and giving. Please fall down so that I can assist you in getting up, or even carry you to the hospital.
Your failure helps me to feel good about myself. I shall appear to sacrifice my happiness in order to assist you after your failure. Because I am just giving like that. I am a giver.

Ron,
Lets go for a ride soon, I have a sprint workout on the calendar. I'll fail. You can help me beat my girlfriend right???
I am looking for a long ride on Sunday if you are interested. Something with a mountain in the middle of it, or an S load of climbing.
Shoot me an email off blog if you are interested.
