Posing

Poser - a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not.

Am I a poser? I did Hawaii Ironman. I did not race. I trained and did the race to the best of my abilities. I completed it.

Are the winners the only real contestants? Are the rest posers? I became familiar with the word by lurking in the Porsche forum. I am getting one, but I found out that may be a poser. Because of this and that. I guess it comes with the territory.

Posing. What gives?
