I am a competitor. Over the last 30 years, I have routinely competed in physical events that have served as tests of both my body and mind. I have raced on steel blades (and occasionally my back) over 90 miles per hour in a bobsled, had forearms pressed against my throat with lethal intentions during combat matches, and have run, jumped, thrown, checked and tackled my way to exhiliration on the road, track, field, mat and ice.
