Bob,
Let's look at it in perspective ....
ANY contester in ANY contest will always be behind
unless he/she's the winner. This is an obvious fact.
I've been a high-scoring SS participant in the past, with
a Northwest Division first place one year, made a number
of DX-pedition trips and a was the 2nd place in the world
in an ARRL CW DX contest.
Simply put, "contest" with yourself and ignore the rest of
the pack. You may be surprised at how well you do. You're
an hour into the contest and you hear someone with 100 Q's.
Wow, how's he doing so well! Check his count 24 hours
later ... you may be surprised. I always have the print-out
from the previous contest at hand and check it from time-to-
time to see how I'm doing.
There are many tiny little things about winning contests that
one does't learn overnight and too much to go into here.
Sending "N" instead of "9" is an example ... 5NN. Portions
of seconds add up to minutes and more Q's.
