00:00I think when you first hear about four trails, it is just so unfathomable that

00:10someone can do 300k straight, that it attracts a lot of questions.

00:15Physically, you're abusing your body in a way you shouldn't.

00:31You can't really imagine how hard it is until you try.

00:34I've never in my whole life gone through such a thing.

00:37It throws everything at you, roads, stairs, technical, a ton of elevation, it just beats

00:44the shit out of you.

00:46No matter how good you are, no matter how well you're prepared, you can still fail.

01:47There's always going to be a part of my life.

01:58I'm the one of the people who is a little based on your way,

02:02and I can never change that way.

02:03I've never seen that when the tally of the people are home.
