Fortunately for Roland she was so focused on winning that she never looked back to see that he went to look for her. Otherwise she might suspect he was going easy on her!

Instead, she beams at her accomplishment. "No, that was a close! If you were easy to beat, than winning wouldn't mean anything!" It was better that Roland was tough. There was nothing as satisfying as a close competition. Had she not catch him with the landing, or he noticed what she was doing, it would have been all over.

Satisfaction in victory; aspiration in defeat. "Unless you think you could do better?"
