I have never drank.
And for a couple of years, I was just getting drunk a few times a year after the race season.
It was just ways to try to escape and to deal with the grieving.
Hmm.
I think I'm more afraid to die now with kids if something happens.
Like, I remember last year I was doing this crossing in the Alps and one day it was just... Yeah, the mountain was, like, falling apart.
Like, it was with the melting of permafrost.
The mountains are just collapsing a lot in the Alps.
So it's big blocks of rocks, like the size of a car, that they collapse at some time and...
just because the ice is melting inside the rocks.
And I was doing this crossing and for many hours I was exposed to those things.
Some rocks were falling very close to me and I ended up that day and I was feeling why I'm so stupid, like why I didn't turn around at the first point where I saw that that was going to happen.
And I was like feeling I really want to
Like it's not just to want to see my kids growing up, but I like see them and just like for them to have a father.
So I know that the activity that I'm doing, the activity like my wife is also doing mountaineering.
So it's activities that we do that they have the risks.
And yeah, I'm not afraid of the feeling of dying.
But I'm most afraid of that, of my kids losing a father.
Yeah, I don't know if it makes sense, but it's more like that what I feel.
Well, we are lucky.
