I chose to be an endurance athlete.

So I chose to

first of all, I was a marathon runner in the seventies, quite a good one.

And from there, I got injured after seven years of, of overtraining and beating myself up doing that.

So I, I, I switched to triathlon.

And so my first triathlon ever was Ironman in Hawaii in 1981.

I went fourth in the 82 Hawaii Ironman.

So I've always somehow been associated with a type of workout that is basically managing discomfort.

You know, some people will play soccer and basketball or

I now play, you know, Frisbee, ultimate Frisbee.

But in those days, I was just managing discomfort every day.

How deep a hole can I dig for myself?

You know, and hopefully recover from it and improve as a result of it.

So it was all about performance for me for the longest time.

Oh, I'm now on a campaign to eradicate running.

Really?

We'll talk about that.

Yeah, I want to.

But, you know, as I think walking is the best thing a human being can do for oneself.

Yeah.
