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