The graph is mph, and Fairlie was probably quoting knots. 23 knots -> 26.4 mph

It was fun, fun, fun! Well, until the crash but even that was a low drama event. Although my coach (sweetness) chastised me for pushing it when 3rd was a lock and 2nd was out of reach. There really is no good response to the 'why' question.
