I bother because there are times when it feels great and for the love of the outdoors...

I think there is something quite dignified about coming last as already has been said you are there making the effort and not sitting on yer bum like so many people do, you are out there doing it. The last trail race I did everyone cheered when the last man came in, just because he'd worked hard and deserved to be applauded I reckon
