And then starting the fifth day, I started to lose sensation on my hands to the point where I couldn't even shift gears anymore.

So when it was a big uphill, I had to have my team like be ready to hold me because I was falling.

Because I was in such a strong gear because I couldn't change.

So I had to change with my wrist and my arm.

It was really bad.

It was really bad.

So I started to get to a point where I asked my coaches, like, is this even worth it?

Like, am I going to have severe nerve damage for a long time?

And he told me, it's going to take you a few months to recover, but you'll recover.

And it's been a month and I still don't feel my hands and feet.

I went to Russia to climb a mountain without even feeling my hands and feet.

Like, I thought it was going to be recovered so much sooner than what's happening.

So it's crazy.

I mean, I was trusting all these people with my life.

You know what happened is that when you are in that position where you're sleep deprived, it's dangerous.

They wanted to take me out of the race because on day nine, day eight or day nine, I fell asleep and I went to the left of the road and a truck was coming.

No.

So the truck was going to run me over.

So they had to move the vehicle to push me.

And then they were going to just tell me like, it's not worth it.
