Thanks! I was thinking about you braking on the downhills at your triathlon. If you knew nothing bad would happen, you could go faster, but it's hard to build that confidence.

It really is, but that confidence comes with practice. I was faster on the bike descents in the race than I was the first time I rode them. I've tried hiking faster, too. I used to always try to take the ideal step rather than the fastest one. It was exhausting because I'd pause constantly. I started to look at it as taking the easiest step down unless there was no safe one. I got better with it with time. I don't know that there's a way to practice muddy descents, though. I mean you can but it's still just a mud hole.
