Myrtle Ball, I will say was fun.

It was terrifying, but it was fun.

Your friend died.

I was definitely concussed.

For me, I competed at the Olympics when I was 16, and I did all the blood, sweat, tears stuff my whole life leading up to that moment.

After the Olympics, from 16 until, honestly, Special Forces, I used the Olympics as an excuse to never have to commit to anything again.

It was like, well, I did it.

So I don't have to work out or finish this marathon or like whatever it was, whatever goal I had in mind.

I was like, I don't really need to.

Absolutely.

And I think it kept me from committing to anything and working hard to do anything again.

And so I started doubting myself over the years that I was even capable of doing that again.

And now having three babies and wanting to be like an example, I wanted to prove it to myself that I could.

So showed up and didn't give myself an option.

I said, this is 10 days.

It's not one or two.

I just said, it's 10 days and I'll see my babies in 10 days.

Wow.

Damn did it, Greg.

Andrew.
