I think you learn more from a DNF than a finish.  I've not DNF'd a race but I've DNF'd a few very important training sessions so I can just imagine how much more I'd learn from a race DNF.

I would think you learn not only about your training/racing strategy, but also about yourself.

My friend's wife from work DNF'd CDA for the second time.  I was timid about how I approched it because I thought she might be disapointed or upset.  When I asked him how she was doing he said she was PUMPED and so looking forward to doing it again.  When I asked if she was going to do CDA again or maybe try a different one... he quoted her as saying "CDA is my b!tch now!"  She is taking 2 years to train for it and will tackle it again in 2008!

Good point! I have a 93 year old great uncle who is the oldest living Jesuit in North America (he got this award last year) who said of my DNF that maybe God was teaching me some humility.
