Well, he started shooting at more or less the same time as me, but he switched to the dark side maybe a year earlier. Club tournament yesterday (American round, compound unlimited, 697 scored: second class would have been 713), and he told me he'd been selected for the County team at the SCAS shoot. What I said was "Congratulations!" but what I was thinking was far less praiseworthy.
Then he continued "It's a shame that my first County shoot is then, because its right in the middle of my first chemotherapy"... for advanced bowel cancer. I remember a few weeks back we were chatting around how maybe he thought he had an ulcer.
So I've been reflecting on competition and jealousy in general.
