Yeah, I've found that if I have a skilled rabbit I'll go faster... but only if I've got the bandwidth to follow without pushing the SR button.

To me, that means I was too far inside of my comfort zone. The limit was higher than I thought it would be.

Outside the comfort zone = discomfort by definition. At the higher speed, following the skilled rider, I was still comfortable. Therefore still within the comfort zone, right? Just not aware of its true extent.

There's a related thread about "finding the edge" that speaks to this.
