00:02 I drank a bottle of wine with my brother the other day,
00:04 which he was storing, because I was like,
00:06 oh, if I die on this adventure, it's
00:08 such a wasting bottle of wine.
00:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12 I also, like, clean my house as if my parents are going
00:16 to be the next people in there, because I'm dead.
00:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:19 [BLEEP]
00:22 I even laid out a bottle of gin and a crystal glass
00:25 so if my dad's there, he can have a gin and tonic.
00:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:28 Oh, crap.
00:30 But yeah, you think about this kind of stuff.
00:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:38 Adventure is my life, and it is the fabric
00:40 that holds together my very existence as a human.
00:44 And it's allowed me to look at things thinking, I can do that.
00:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:53 It's bloody freezing.
00:57 Over 58 kilometers a day, every day for 28 days,
01:02 I just ate, slept, ran.
01:04 That's all I did.
01:05 I'm going to get my head in the game.
01:07 I'll do it.
01:09 [HORN HONKING]
01:10 Woo-hoo!
01:11 I just did feel my legs go, woo!
01:13 And I was like, woo!
01:14 [BLEEP]
01:15 We're very high!
01:16 That's why we do it!
01:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:20 This has just turned out to be magical!
01:22 I am so happy.
01:23 I am so happy.
01:25 I feel so alive.
01:27 When you just do something that you are completely
01:29 petrified of, you-- oh, great.
01:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:33 This adventure is just about to kick off.
01:35 Ah, god, this is hard.
01:38 Woo-hoo!
01:39 OK, OK.
01:40 [SCREAMS]
01:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 I am a person of extremes.
01:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:50 Everyone's like, no, it's just not possible.
01:52 Can't do it.
01:52 Can't do it.
01:53 Can't do it.
01:55 And I was like, that is it.
01:57 Game on.
