Because in that movie, you remember 300 Spartans defended against the Persian masses, and they frame it as the difference between us having civilization and not. Had those 300 guys not died while they assembled an army and he delivered that message to King Leonidas? So when you finish this race, if you finish, it's one of the hardest races in the world. There's bad water.

You know Goggins, mutual buddy of ours. But there's races they say are the hardest. This one kicked my butt. Is it because of the elevation? What is it? It's because Europe does not believe in ice, so there's nothing cold for the first 50 miles. You're hot, and then the cutoffs are much stricter. So at 50 miles, you have to be done. You got to fact check this, but nine or 10 hours.

So you have to finish 153 miles in under 36 hours. You need to be running at all times. You can't walk for two hours and start throwing up. I was puking for eight hours straight the first time I did it. Still, excuses. This is me just bitching. I should have finished that year. I wasn't mentally tough. But 100% that year, I just didn't have it mentally. And the next year I came back ready to die.

I was like, I'm going to finish this race. Yeah. There was a guy in the middle of the night, I won't kid you, who looked at me and he says to me, there it is. He goes to me with like crazy eyes. And I've already given up in my mind. You know, like they call it DNFing, did not finish in ultras. I already wrote the speech of like, I'm going to tell my friends.

I learned from that, you know, all that, all that stuff of like, I already gave up in my mind. And I saw this guy at my, I don't know, 72, middle of the night, who looks at me with these crazy eyes. I'll never forget his looks. Crazy eyes. Like that, but a hundred times more. And goes, you're going to give up? He goes, if you can't run, you walk. You can't walk, you crawl. You never, ever.

And I was like, yo, man, this guy needs to chill out right now because I've already quit in my mind. But I channeled that guy when I came back the next year. And it was that it was I'm going to the hospital and you're not putting IV. I'm going to finish this race. And I came back the next year mentally like there's no way I'm not finishing. Did you do anything different in preparation?

Listen, that game, it's all mental. Anyone who tells you otherwise, physical's meaningless at that point. Physical's meaningless in most points, to be honest. There were guys who I saw when I quit, it was, you know, 2 a.m., who were slower than me. They were older than me. Every objective measure, I should have beat them, but they mentally finished.
