And they don't publicly announce it, but yeah, people die in these races.

And I was like, doesn't matter.

It's not anymore about me.

And I remember I couldn't even move.

I couldn't walk.

I couldn't even like make a step forward.

And instead of thinking about all the marathons left that I had, it was a matter of like, let's focus just on micro goals.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Again, consistency compounds.

It was the consistency of doing one step after the other that kept me going.

What's beautiful about this is that you were already attaching yourself with a why that was so strong that it will make you keep going no matter what.

While my body was breaking down, my mind was getting stronger.

The last day, I no longer was thinking about finishing the race.

I felt so strong mentally that I thought I could win the race.

And on that last day, on that last marathon, I crossed that finish line among the first.

And it was one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my mind, in my life.

It was one of those things that I'm like, wow, the human body is capable of so much more as long as we are aligned with our mind and our soul.

Were you first?

That last day I finished among the first, not first, but among the first few.

And it was one of those things that I'm like, people even like at the finish line, they took me to a room to test, to check if I was doping or something because they couldn't believe that a guy that the previous days was like completely out of it and still carrying a weight.
