This. I guess we all fixate on PBs when really the finishing position on the day is much more relevant. There are 3 people in the club I've never beaten, scalping one of them this season is another goal to add to the list.
You got club records? Aim for them and then you know you're the fastest in your club :)
I like winning events too but given my target event(s) are so infrequent it's a bit trickier than the blokes that go out and race club 10s three times a week.
