What changed? My skill wasn’t the problem. My self-imposed limit was the problem. I didn’t think it was possible to go flat out . . . so it wasn’t. Once I knew it was possible, it was possible. Nothing changed except my perspective—and, as a result, my skill. I had stopped thinking about going a little faster than I had earlier and started thinking about trying to be as fast as Ross. I was no longer my benchmark. Ross was my benchmark.
