You know this is exactly the kind of attitude we are really struggling to overcome in NZ. You do realise that competitions (especially the first ones) are a learning experience - you can't expect to win at your first comp, but you might have a great time, learn a lot, set a new PB and make some new friends. There's no minimum ability required, we won't think less of you for trying, and the sooner you start the faster you'll improve. Why don't you come to Wellington for the next comp? It's a lot closer/cheaper than Italy and you can bring your partner too! Email me and I'll add you to the mailing list.
