00:00:00
this new fellow who joined our team, first ever race, like he was amazing. And Sam, I don't think he'll mind me sharing
00:00:08
this, but he um he goes I've got a little uh trick for, you know, everyone goes through tough times
00:00:15
in adventure race, you know, you go highs, lows, whatever. Uh and it's your team that will help you
00:00:20
push through. And he goes, "Do you guys want to hear my little my little trick for if when things get
00:00:26

00:01:13
really works." And I was like, I almost wanted to cry. I was like, "Oh my gosh,
00:01:18
he these these farmers have actually got emotion." I was like, "Wow."
00:01:24
>> [laughter] >> And then so, now I guess it's really awesome to see that our team is bonding
00:01:30
in that way, and yeah, the mental strength
