My impression of what drives the real a-holes is not adrenaline or to 'zero in and forget anything but the trail' at all. It's not even a part of it I'd assert.
Closer to the genuine motivations AND internal monologue before-during-after the effort or these types are;
'I'll get the KOM'
'The post I'll make today about how rad I am will get so many likes'
'My Insta story should have the floating SAVAGE logo on it with a selfie of how sweaty I am at the top of the climb, yeah that's perfect'
'I'll show everyone who follows my Strava that I just did a causal 50kms form my house, no big. I'm a goddamn champion!'
