And for me, that hasn't always been a given.
You know, I've carried a fair amount of shame through my 20s and 30s.
you know, regretted a lot of my behavior.
And so for me to be able to express myself in this way is really meaningful to me.
It feels like real progress.
You know, it's a big difference to where I feel I've lived before.
And yeah, I'm just really proud of the team and what we did.
I feel...
And it's not so much for me to say, but I feel that we have done a really good job, you know, that we did something special, that we've made hopefully a bit of a difference.
And, you know, the whole thing feels really worthwhile and I'm really happy with it.
Sure.
So Project 7 was...
Two world record attempts, one being the fastest time to achieve an Ironman distance triathlon on every continent.
So seven Ironmans.
We were aiming for 21 days.
And then also the fastest Ironman in Antarctica as a kind of double-headed thing.
For those that don't know, an Ironman, a full Ironman is a 3.8K swim, which is roughly 40 football fields, followed by a 180K bike, which is a cycle from London to Manchester, followed by a full marathon.
And that's kind of, that's back to back as a single event.
Seven times, and we went from London to Arizona, to Cape Town, to Perth, to Dubai, to Rio, and finished in Antarctica.
and only two people have ever done an Ironman in Antarctica before.
