Hey - I agree ;-))
On a serious note: I think that the perseverance that's necessary if you
want to go 48 hrs straight is part of regarding contesting as a sport. At
least to me it is. It's about finding out about your limits and trying to
push them further a bit, isn't it?
And I tell you what: the challenge to continue competing when your body
cries for sleep is FUN to me. Maybe that's why my family thinks I am -hm-
different, hi.
