Never.
Even if I achieve my goals, there is always room for improvement. That's just how I'm wired. When I was a kid, and got a 99% on a test, my dad's response was "That's great son, but what happened to the other 1%?"
I look at what I did well, and make a note to repeat it. Then I look at everything that could have gone better and pick 2-3 things to fix for next race. The list of things to fix seems to be getting longer faster than the list of things fixed.
Even if I were an IM AG World Champ, I'd likely look at that race and ask myself why I didn't set a course record. Or if I did, why it wasn't faster.
Hopefully I don't screw up my son as much as my dad screwed me up. It think it would kind of be nice to find satisfaction in some things, sometimes. I just never learned how.
