The "Dreaded Three-Headed Knight" confronts Sir Robin and Sir Robin bravely runs away.
Bravley ran away, away. Robin bravely ran away.
On the other hand, why not use speed to avoid dying? Just took a pony up yesterday for the first time in 1.04 and the speed thing can save your butt after an engagement goes sour or the cavalry arrives to assist a would-be victim. It also makes it easier to help a countryman being chased down.
The thing to remember is as much as speed is an asset, it is also a detriment. If a pony is bearing down on you it isn't that hard to jink and force the overshoot.
