The Problem with "You Should Be Happy."

People usually mean it kindly. But sometimes those four words ask you to ignore what you know about what you're capable of. In this episode, Rich opens his World Masters Championships notebook — a long jump that missed the final, a triple jump final where the goal was met but the execution wasn't — and names the tension every competitor knows: the outcome was worth celebrating, and the performance wasn't good enough. Both things are true. This isn't really an episode about track. It's about the two scoreboards we all live with: the one that measures what happened, and the one that measures what we're capable of.
