I've participated in organised mountain bike races. Sure, I could have ridden those course without the other participants at any other time, but I never pushed myself as hard as when I was racing. "The pursuit of the breaking point" is what I used to call it. I never did reach it, which might be for the best.
A bit more seriously, than my "lemmingitis" comment, I can't comment from first-hand experience. I have an amateur auto racing license, and I drive in races, but I'm there more for the driving than for the racing. I also run what are called High Performance Drivers Ed (HPDE) events, which are also on race tracks, but without the racing. I have as much fun on HPDE days as on race days. Though I've seen the other types Miserere mentions in the cockpit many times. I'm there because that's where the track is and when it's available. :-)
