Good try, Anonymous, but you must watch out for the dangling participle. Maybe you could say: "My winning the competition was exasperating to her".
Rihabo, you avoid the dangling participle, but you have used "exasperating" in the wrong form (you need the participle in your sentence): "She was exasperated".
