I felt pretty amazing, the best I had in years. But as I looked at the three things that had made up the most kickass day of my life, I realized the one thing that had always made me the happiest—flying—was now coming in last on the leaderboard.

Sharing that win, that incredible moment with Solo had been the most fulfilling part of taking home the victory today, and how had that happened?
