Winning isn't necessary. Competing is.

It's a hobbby. If you aren't competing, why bother to go out of town. I can fly all I want to every day of the week. All I have to do is tow my winch trailer for a 15 minute drive to one of the best flying sites in the US. Just boring holes in the sky is boring. I want to see how well I am doing against other flyers. I will admit that winning was much more important 30 years ago. Back then I won several trophies a year. Now I win a trophy every several years. As I grow older, it's retaining the ability to compete that's important. Not how often I win.
