00:00:00
Have you had hallucinations in the race? >> people always say, like, it's easier to
00:00:03
get hallucinations, you know, illegally. I'm like, "No, I've never done that, but
00:00:09
I definitely get them all the time." Yeah, I I'm prone to hallucinating.
00:00:13
>> Like what? When did When did they normally begin? Is it like day two? >> Day one.
00:00:18
>> [laughter] >> Day one, but I think day one is is just a shock to the body, right? Like, you
00:00:25
haven't slept in over 40 hours or whatever. But, I often hallucinate lots of animals. Like, every single rock is
00:00:33
like a dog face. You often see huts because that's what you want to see. Uh you see bike boxes, transition areas.
00:00:44
Uh what else did I see? I've seen security cameras a couple times. It's weird.
00:00:48
Uh what else did I see? Um oh, penguins in the middle of the bush, octopus. Like, yeah, you can see
00:00:56
anything. I haven't seen any like bad things yet, which is nice because that means my brain's not like cuz I
00:01:02
think it's like your subconscious or something, isn't it? >> How do you So, how do you how do you
00:01:06
snap out of it? >> You just you literally can't snap out of it. You just blink and you're like
00:01:10
seeing all these things, and then you just tell your teammates, you're like,
00:01:13
"I can see like these things." And they're like, "That's not there." But, I
00:01:18
guess sleep sleep is the only way. >> Mhm. >> But, you just I mean, what's awesome is
00:01:24
the sun comes up and it's another day. >> How How good is it being out there when
00:01:27
this when it goes from dark to light and the sun rises? >> It's difficult.
00:01:31
>> You must have seen some crazy sunrises. >> Oh, some of the most amazing sunrises.
00:01:36
Like, what's awesome is when you do a mission by yourself, you know, you start at 7:00, 6:00 in the
00:01:43
morning. Whereas, during the race, you go through the whole night and you're at
00:01:47
the top of the mountain at 3:00 in the morning walking down the mountain and seeing the sunrise. It's
00:01:55
Yeah, it's pretty cool. And when the sun comes up, it's your you get this sense of energy that uh
00:02:03
>> Yeah, your mood lifts. >> Yeah, totally. And it's it's like this
00:02:06
natural form of energy that you you get from the sun. And yeah.
