It's so new.
00:00:01
>> Yeah.
00:00:01
>> I probably put it on the map in New
00:00:03
Zealand.
00:00:04
>> So Sandy Barick, for anyone that doesn't
00:00:06
know, she set a world record in 1990 for
00:00:08
covering 559 mi in 6 days. Records for
00:00:12
1,000 km, 2,000 km, 1,000 mi, 1,300 mi.
00:00:17
That took you just under 18 days. First
00:00:19
woman to complete a 1,300 mile race.
00:00:23
>> Some people don't want to run 20 hours a
00:00:25
day. And that was my schedule. And it
00:00:28
was strict. 10 hours on, 2 hours off, 10
00:00:31
hours on, 2 hours off. And most of my
00:00:33
runs at the end, I would go 3 days
00:00:36
non-stop. And Max understood that. And
00:00:38
he always said, "She can do it. She's
00:00:40
done it before. She'll do 22 hours a day
00:00:44
because Sandy will not stop." And I
00:00:47
don't say can't because that's a
00:00:50
description of your behavior, not your
00:00:52
capabilities.
