Are there negative consequences to peeking when you are running well?

For me, absolutely. I lose my tenacity when I'm up big. It's human nature.
Analogy:
Think about a golfer that usually shoots in the mid 40's. He's out one Saturday afternoon having a good time with his buddies out on the course. The other cart has the scorecard. He knows he's doing well but really isn't all that aware. They total the scores up after 9 holes and he finds out he just shot a 37.
What are the chances he does this well on the back 9? Not very likely. I think he'll be lucky to break 50 since he'll be so focused now on how much better he's doing than he should, that he subconsciously plays poorly to bring his results back in line to where they "should be".
