I think my very first time I ever did testing was under 19 trials and I turned up for the 3K and I don't know, ran like 12 times.

20 or something yeah 12 30 and then they said oh look you're gonna run under 12 to be considered for the um for the team so and then it was like all the bench testing i've been doing this for about two months i was like i didn't didn't know what i was doing so um

I was stoked with that.

I was pretty happy.
