Perception vs. Reality

Scene: Riding bikes with the kids, going off jumps, etc.

Perception: Going very fast, at least as fast as the kids, and catching some sweet air, poppin' some pretty good wheelies, general craziness.

Reality (as caught on video): Old man creeping along, barely fast enough to stay upright, rolling through (not over) jumps, catching no discernible air and occasionally yanking (with much effort) the front wheel a few inches off the ground. General impression - wow, just wow.

Concern: No concern with the riding aspect: K9 or BVD I am not. My concern is where else in my life this vast, vast, vast gulf between perception and reality may exist. The possibilities are limitless but my ability to discern is, well, you know, not so good.
