Didn't Win
Here we find a guy completing the race. It seems he did not win but his posture and flowing mane reveal the determination in this guy and his true priority. He struggles to improve his personal record, for that is the true measure of Guy. His grimace is not in defeat; it is an expression of relief knowing he has passed another trial; it is disappointment because he knows more could've been done; it is knowledge of the struggle which comes next. Inch towards refinement. Sculpting each minutiae will allow you to present your best, to strive for greatness.
A final thought: Be not consumed by others but aware.
