How many people train but don't race (or do 'timed' events)

[jmm]

I don’t really train to race. Only timed events I do are long gravel endurance rides and the time is for me to measure progress - not race.
I am training to complete long endurance events strong and to be able to climb. I live at flat sea level and struggle when I travel to places like Colorado. Being able to sit in the sweet spot for long periods should help me with sustained climbing.
