John:
There was this focus when growing up to be conservative when it comes to your future and have some good plan for retirement and then travel and see the world and do all this fun stuff when you retire. I was really good about that but then, uh... Yeah, so kind of like in one year I had a series of a few deaths in the family and then I was in a relationship for 10 years and that ended so it was like all this crap just all happened to me in one calendar year. It was awful. I was in a really bad place. One of the deaths in this case involved was my father, who has done just what he told me and saved all of this money for him and my mom to travel the world and he passed away one year before his retirement. That's when I realized You've gotta live. You've gotta live your life

that's their own problem
00:00:02.368 --> 00:00:06.438
But it forces them to have some familiarity
00:00:07.506 --> 00:00:10.003
with what the layout of the course is
00:00:10.042 --> 00:00:12.611
and find out a lot of things that it would be
00:00:12.644 --> 00:00:15.081
a lot less convenient
00:00:15.114 --> 00:00:17.249
to recognize that you have this question
00:00:17.283 --> 00:00:20.998
when you're eight hours into the race
00:00:20.052 --> 00:00:21.587
Whenever you get to the first trail
00:00:21.062 --> 00:00:23.589
just start following it and if it switchbacks down
00:00:23.622 --> 00:00:24.891
you went the wrong way
00:00:24.924 --> 00:00:25.925
I thought it was right there
00:00:26.993 --> 00:00:28.394
It is It's not
00:00:28.427 --> 00:00:30.529
They got rid of that
00:00:30.562 --> 00:00:31.998
and now they're going
00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:33.532
I think the instructions last were basically
00:00:33.565 --> 00:00:34.633
Keep on following the ridge up and
00:00:34.666 --> 00:00:36.435
climb to the highest point
00:00:36.468 --> 00:00:38.999
When it hurts more you're on the right path
00:00:38.007 --> 00:00:39.997
Or something like that
00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:40.306
To your right
