There’s a big hill near my house.
Sometimes, a bicyclist will really pedal hard on the downhill. It’s good for the ego. It’s also crazy dangerous, since braking and steering become much more difficult, and high speed gives you less time to react.
And sometimes cars rev their way up the hill, with the drivers imagining that since there’s gravity to overcome, might as well go even faster.
The disciplined, resilient approach is to go your own speed, regardless of the incline.
