It's so new. >> Yeah. >> I probably put it on the map in New Zealand.
00:00:04
>> So Sandy Barick, for anyone that doesn't know, she set a world record in 1990 for
00:00:08
covering 559 mi in 6 days. Records for 1,000 km, 2,000 km, 1,000 mi, 1,300 mi. That took you just under 18 days. First
00:00:19
woman to complete a 1,300 mile race. >> Some people don't want to run 20 hours a
00:00:25
day. And that was my schedule. And it was strict. 10 hours on, 2 hours off, 10 hours on, 2 hours off. And most of my
00:00:33
runs at the end, I would go 3 days non-stop. And Max understood that. And he always said, "She can do it. She's
00:00:40
done it before. She'll do 22 hours a day because Sandy will not stop." And I
00:00:47
don't say can't because that's a description of your behavior, not your
00:00:52
capabilities.
