00:00:00
Where do you draw the line between like
00:00:01
toughness and stupidity?
00:00:03
>> Yeah. Yeah. People often say you're so
00:00:04
strong, but I say I'm so stupid. I think
00:00:07
um I don't know it,
00:00:10
you know. So this story for example,
00:00:12
three days before world champs in
00:00:14
Ecuador, um we were training on a
00:00:17
volcano and we me being me, I was like,
00:00:21
let's film this, you know, we're at
00:00:22
5,000 meters above sea level. Let's do a
00:00:25
we vlog, you know. And so I was had my
00:00:29
camera out filming and I just wasn't
00:00:32
watching where my ankle was going and
00:00:34
sure enough totally like tore two
00:00:37
ligaments completely. Um it instantly
00:00:39
blew up like a tennis ball. Uh and I had
00:00:44
the night before the race it was like my
00:00:46
ankle was black like it I I couldn't
00:00:49
move and I had the night before the race
00:00:52
I had about nine physios and sports
00:00:54
doctors message me because my photo had
00:00:57
circul you know circulated the the
00:01:00
sports doctor um websites.
00:01:02
>> You were going viral.
00:01:03
>> Yeah. My ankle was going viral. And so I
00:01:06
had all these people messaging me
00:01:07
saying, "Don't do the race. You're so
00:01:10
stupid." like, you know, you're going to
00:01:12
do permanent damage. But because I love
00:01:15
the sport so much and also I'm in
00:01:17
Ecuador, like if I pull out, my
00:01:19
teammates have also pulled out and
00:01:21
everything is self-funded and everything
00:01:23
like that. So, you know, you're
00:01:24
overseas, there's not really any choice.
00:01:27
Um, but I think that was a bit stupid
00:01:30
because my ankle took about over still
00:01:32
still sore about 2 years
