When I went through, if you failed something twice, you got rolled.

But if you failed something once, you could stay with the class.

And so if you failed two runs, you got rolled.

And then if you failed one in the next class, you got dropped.

So I only failed one of everything.

And some of the ones were, you know, like there were some swims that pretty much

almost everyone in the class failed because the tide or the current or whatever.

There were some runs where a lot of people failed because it maybe wasn't quite four miles.

Yeah, yeah, it was a little over.

So I failed a little bit of everything, but not enough to get me rolled.

And I stayed with my class the whole time, made it through in one shot.

How did you deal with failure?

Just tried to go harder.

You know, I failed a run.

I paced myself on a run.

which I wasn't fast enough to pace myself.

I needed, for basically everything that I did in Buzz, I just need to go 100%.

And probably, I don't know, my third or fourth run in first phase, I was kind of like, oh, I'll try pacing myself.

And so I went at a pace and I just was wrong and failed.

And so I never paced myself again on those runs.
