But, you know, I've done a lot of climbing in my life and I've done a lot of climbs that were like 24 hours.

I mean, I had this experience in Patagonia once.

It was a 54-hour push.

Like the last 20 hours we hiked without food because we got caught in a storm.

It's a whole crazy story.

But basically, you know, I've had a lot of experiences in my life where I've done hard exercise for more than 24 hours.

And so this, you know, I expected to take me somewhere in the hour and a half, two hour range.

And I'm kind of like, yeah, I mean, I'll be tired after two hours of exercise, but I'm not going to be exhausted.

You know what I mean?

Like, I know that I have a much deeper reserve than that.

No.

No, it's obviously much easier.

I mean, I'm doing it on live television, you know, it's like, obviously it's easier.

But...

what makes it cool is that it's different.

It's fun.

It's challenging.

Like for me, it's really like in my sweet spot where it is challenging enough.

Like it's, it's not easy.

You know what I mean?
