ZM's Brie and Clint Podcast.

Bree Tomasel 0:03

Play ZM's Bree and Clint. We're getting texts for the details, so just one more time for you. Pfft not one more time. I'll say it heaps of times. Three o'clock tomorrow, Auckland's Victoria Park. Bree and I will be attempting a half marathon with no training. You're all invited

Joanne McNally 0:19

Everyone is welcome to come down. If you want to w w run one lap, that's fine. If you wanna sit there and watch us run, you can do that too.

Bree Tomasel 0:26

If you wanna line the path and I don't know what the drinking rules are in Victoria Park, but if you put it on the

Joanne McNally 0:31

brown paper bag, you're

Bree Tomasel 0:32

fine. If you put it on one of those coolie sleeves, surely you'll be fine. We're joking, we don't condone that. But also I mean I condone it. Give it a go. I condone it. What are they gonna do? Are they gonna send a uh a council person around to arrest me?

Joanne McNally 0:45

Oh look at you, you're big and strong now, but if a council person was put in front of you, I can imagine you going, Oh, sorry, sir, th oh

Bree Tomasel 0:52

I was just I was joking. You can't arrest me for telling other people to drink. I haven't done anything. Okay?

Joanne McNally 0:59

Well, can we organise a fake council person to come down and arrest Clint tomorrow?

Bree Tomasel 1:03

Mid mar mid half marathon.

Joanne McNally 1:05

Take him away in cuffs

Bree Tomasel 1:07

and then you have to run it by yourself.

Joanne McNally 1:09

And definitely won't do that, but if someone appears it wasn't me.

Bree Tomasel 1:13

There's always the possibility that with this half marathon tomorrow that we don't finish. I don't believe that is what's gonna happen. Um and I think deep down you don't believe it either. I think you I think you know we can do it.

Joanne McNally 1:28

I know that my brain w won't give up. Yeah. But if I get injured, I mean you can't really help. Getting injured, can you?

Bree Tomasel 1:38

I think if you get injured nobody will think badly of you? I think people will.

What injuries and physical limits do they worry might stop them from finishing?

Bree Tomasel 1:44

I think they'll judge. Well it depends on the injury, doesn't it?

Joanne McNally 1:47

Yeah. But

Bree Tomasel 1:47

if you trip and sprain an ankle.

Joanne McNally 1:50

Oh, is that the injury? What if it's like a really bad cramp?

Bree Tomasel 1:54

Nah, people won't be okay with that.

Joanne McNally 1:56

What if your knee what if your knee starts to go?

Bree Tomasel 1:59

If your knee goes, yeah. If you're like, oh my knee, nah. Because it's in my mind what counts. Um bad bluster. No.

Joanne McNally 2:09

What about what if it's like a fifty cent piece?

Bree Tomasel 2:12

Yeah, I don't think people I think in people's minds they'll be like, uh Suck it up, but I think you wanted to quit. Yeah. I think. It's what I feel.

Joanne McNally 2:19

A bad

Bree Tomasel 2:20

blister's pretty debilitating. Broken FEMA? Yeah. They'll give you a pass.

Joanne McNally 2:24

How how are we gonna break our FEMA running?

Bree Tomasel 2:28

Don't say it out loud. Okay, don't say it out loud. Um the issue too with going down injured is you just have to do it again. You know, it's gonna become our Everest. And then if if you get ten Ks in, that's ten K's for nothing. You don't get to start on the eleventh K next time. You know?

Joanne McNally 2:47

Who do you think's more likely to get injured?

Bree Tomasel 2:51

It's I reckon we're both paying a dollar ten.

Joanne McNally 2:54

I reckon I've got you slightly that it's more likely

Bree Tomasel 2:57

to be me. We w this is this might seem odd, but we're gonna ask this so we know what to prepare for, what to look out for, and what not to do. We wanna talk to people who didn't finish their half marathon. Or their marathon or their trial.

Joanne McNally 3:14

Tryathlon. What did did you in where you did not finish? Or their eight kilometer fun run?

Why do listeners share their own DNF (Did Not Finish) stories and what lessons emerge?

Joanne McNally 3:20

Yeah. What happened where you're like, oh DNF.

Bree Tomasel 3:23

Yeah. What was the thing that did it? Maybe you didn't even make it to the start line for a particular reason. And if we know about these things we can avoid them, you know? If someone says, I had this meal the night before my race. Yeah. And the next day I was shooting lava out my backside. Oh,

Joanne McNally 3:40

wow.

Bree Tomasel 3:40

And we know what not to eat tonight.

Joanne McNally 3:42

Mm. You know? Sometimes you can be unlucky though, can't ya?

Bree Tomasel 3:45

Yeah.

Joanne McNally 3:46

Like I am not gonna have a bad prawn. Like I'm not gonna go home tonight and have a super spicy Rogan Josh.

Bree Tomasel 3:53

No. That'd be the dumbest thing you can do. Yeah, yeah.

Joanne McNally 3:56

But sometimes

Bree Tomasel 3:58

Kiwi hot, yes. Super spicy hot. I don't even know if

Joanne McNally 4:01

I'd risk Kiwi hot.

Bree Tomasel 4:03

Um it it might sound strange, but there's logic in it, okay? Yeah. Can you call us now and tell us why you didn't finish your half full marathon, your your event? Why what happened that meant that you weren't able to cross the room?
