Because for me, it was highly emotional thing I was trying to do. I was obsessed with this thing. We talked about emotion and logic. They don't play nice together. So what I was able to do based on that tribe and my love and respect and trust in those guys was, you know what? That's fair. You guys will handle the objectivity.

I will remain out of my mind, obsessed and laser focused on the next thing. And if I get back there, I know that there's no spot here if I don't meet that and I'm willing to accept whatever that outcome is. Yeah. Because you had to be an asset. It was about them. And it took, dude, what was already me operating at a high level. I mean, I was...

I was dialed in and I was putting out and things were moving on the right trajectory. That flip of a switch from me to them took what was already at what I thought was max output and surged it up just that much higher. Because when I was going in now to my third training session of the day,

beat to shit, tired, all the excuses sounding the most convincing when I'm at my weakest state, rather than me thinking about this glorifying moment of getting back off the bird back in Afghanistan with both fingers in the air saying, I'm back and you done messed up. You should have killed me when you had the chance. That's what was driving me almost this entire time.

Rather than me thinking about that, I was now thinking about my teammate's five-year-old son. I was thinking about my teammate's wife. And no, you need to do this workout right now or eat this food or do this thing, get into bed, get out of bed, not for you, but for them. And it just took things to a whole nother level, which is why I'm such an advocate for team, tribe, community.

Are you still eating that much? No, not even close. That's wild. Yeah. One of the things that I like to remind people of is as an above-the-knee amputee, for me to walk... at a normal walking pace requires 70 to 75% more energy spend than you to walk at the same speed for the same distance. It's that much more, it requires that much more energy, i.e. calories.

So that only gets amplified when you're talking about running, thinning, training, and you're doing more intense activity, the calorie requirement gets doubled, tripled, sometimes even higher than that. So that's something I had to learn over time. Like the science was given to me almost during like my recovery. Like you're going to be fatigued, this is tiring, and here's why.
