Is it fair to compare yourself to others? For example I got my butt kicked by a kid who does about half the training I do. Does talent account for this? Anyone else ever feel envious of others who can do less but race quicker? Should I only focus exclusively on my own times and personal improvement?
It feels as though I'm constantly comparing myself to others. Probably not good right?

The point of racing is to compare yourself to others. You can't control what other people bring to the race, so train as hard as you are willing to, and see what happens.
