This was triathlon.

So this is triathlon.

And this is when I was raising triathlon professionals.

And she said, you know, I'd recommend that you go to these meditation retreats.

And I was like, cool.

I'm interested in meditation, but I don't know a lot about it.

I haven't done it.

This is 2011.

And she's like, yeah, if you've heard of Vipassana meditation, it's these 10-day silent meditation retreats.

10 days, no reading, no eye contact, deep meditation retreats.

And she's like, you should try it.

And I was like, well, don't I need like a little background in meditation before this?

And she's like, no, like just do it.

It's free.

There's centers around the world.

It's completely free to go, like go.

And so me being the kind of like jump in head first type of person, as you can probably tell here, I was like, great, I'll go.

So my off season in triathlon that year, I signed up for this meditation retreat and my stepdad,

He drives me up to the retreat and he goes, he goes, hey, Colin, like I've pretty much never heard you shut up for a minute in your life.

And so I'm going to wait here in the parking lot for an hour because once you realize this is a terrible idea, I'll be here waiting to drive you home.
