Congrats on completing it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, it was a wild ride to say the least.
You know, I had a few other world records to my name previous to that in the mountains, but this was a world first.
You know, this was something that no one in history had ever accomplished.
And going back 100 years, people have tried.
You know, Ernest Shackleton 100 years ago was kind of one of my heroes, one of the early pioneering explorers that said, like,
man should cross the continent of Antarctica.
And it's been done now in teams of people, as well as using wind aid, kites, dogs, but it has never still been done in its most pure form, which is solo, completely alone, unsupported, so no resupplies of food or food drop-offs, and unaided, meaning no kites, no dogs, no vehicles.
This is like a man versus nature, mano y mano out there.
It was a beautiful challenge to take on as I'm really just fascinated as myself as just tapping into the potential that I think we all have inside of us and unlocking that.
So this curiosity inside me as an athlete led me to want to go after this.
And I didn't know if it was possible.
I literally named my project as I set off the impossible first.
Amazing.
Gosh, I think, I wish I should know the answer to this question.
Yeah, it's massive.
The traverse that I was making, so it was basically from one side of the ocean via the South Pole to the other side, was just under 1,000 miles.
1,000 miles.
