00:00:00
So I guess I've been racing with my team Fair Youth for five years now. >> Fair youth. F E A R.
00:00:07
>> Yeah. Fair youth. Yeah. Yeah. So I've been racing with them for five years. So
00:00:12
you kind of every single race you learn so much about yourself, but also even more importantly, you learn a lot about
00:00:19
your teammates. So we've, you know, we've developed that trust and that connection. And so we've got obviously
00:00:26
your main navigator and in our case is typically Finn Mitchell uh who's just an
00:00:33
absolute weapon. He did Godzone at 16 a few years ago which is and it took us eight and a half days and he was our
00:00:40
main navigator. >> Are you allowed to do it at 16? >> You weren't but we were. But it's
00:00:46
awesome to see that so many youth are coming through because when we did it, we got on the start line and we had so
00:00:52
much criticism like what are these kids doing here? Like they don't deserve to
00:00:56
be here, you know? >> Really? >> Yeah. Like they were like what are like
00:01:01
especially overseas they're like you line up on the start line, they're like
00:01:04
they look at you funny like what the heck. But now it's really awesome to see
00:01:08
so many youth coming through because >> the average age of an adventure race is
00:01:12
42 years old. Wow. So, I'm 22, so I started when I was 18 in the big races. So, that's very young. Uh, anyway, so we
00:01:21
had we have a navigator, often a backup navigator because obviously, you know, the navigator is not sleeping as well,
00:01:28
so they can get extremely exhausted. Uh, and then you've often got like a pack
00:01:33
horse who, you know, just load them up. And then I am in my my role is like the motivator, the organizer, making sure
00:01:43
everyone's in line in check, you know, everyone's fed, watered. Uh yeah.
