You've illustrated my point perfectly, Misti.

Laying the groundwork at 80% expands the envelope, right? Because you've got the extra bandwidth to learn, rather than just trying to survive.

A higher pace What was once scary starts to feel slow... so you go faster almost by default...

On the track we're not watching the speedo or the clock (or we shouldn't be!). So your perception of speed is the only gauge you have. If you don't feel like you're going fast, well, you're naturally going to crank it up until you do.

At least that's been my experience....
