Which was actually amazing in itself, but not sustainable.

No.

And, yeah, so for a period of time, it was just all in limbo, actually.

And then I set about trying to find new teammates.

Tell us a bit about that.

So one of them lived in Dubai, so I didn't get to meet her until we got to San Francisco.

Yeah.

And the other had actually sort of reached out to me through Instagram.

So she'd been in the army and I think she'd seen me on SAS Who Dares Wins and she knew that I was looking for new teammates.

So she reached out and just a formidable woman.

She'd also played rugby for England many years back.

and just exactly the kind of person that you thought you would need to take on something like that.

And she brought her friend into the team.

So we weren't all in one place until we got to the start line.

No, not the best way to initiate a good team dynamic, I would say.

So, yeah, lots of, I mean, so many lessons learned.

But, you know, a lot of it was out of our control.

And we kind of did the best we could to get to know each other.

But, I mean, you're taking on something like that, it's huge.

Yeah.
