    It’s a heartwarming story, but I can’t imagine competing against my own wife in a zero-sum competition.

    Unless we both lose and get to comfort each other with cheap participation trophies.

      Some people’s relationships themselves are all about competition and it’s what keeps the relationship going. I’ve known couples like that. They can be fun, but exhausting.

      It’s not zero-sum. For example, if you put up a PB (Personal Best time) and lose, that’s still a win.
