I did it the year before. I've already done it as a solo person. And Danny was like, maybe we should do it together next year. And I was like, it's quite hard. It was quite funny in the run-ups to it because I absolutely loved Danny's optimism about everything. And I was like, I know what's coming. It's really hard for me to say.

By the end of it, we both couldn't remember much. But doing it as a pair, you remember different things. So you kind of like trigger each other to remember certain bits. So honestly, coming through something like that, you have a friendship or a partnership like for life because you go through something special.

We're really competitive against each other. And we were like, should we just sign up solo and just race each other? Doing it again.
