Cycling from London to Paris. Was that your first challenge? >> It was my first challenge. Yeah. >> So, tell me how that came about. >> So, um I’ve never been to Paris before. Um and I saw on um Facebook about are you up for a challenge? Would you happy to bike from London to Paris? And I was like, well, I could have a go at that. My granddad from America gave me the money to buy a bike cuz I then had to buy my own bike to do training and stuff. So that was yeah it was daunting ache all over um by just doing like you know 10 mile bike ride. So the thought of doing nearly 400 miles in 4 days I don’t know what I was thinking. Thought it was going to be like an easy thing but that was far from easy. It was like the hardest thing ever. Like them hills were just like wow where did that come from? We literally got around the corner, struggled up the hill, and then literally as soon as you got around the corner, you’re greeted with another Mount Everest. So that was really, really hard. And >> was that that was the start of your challenges, was it really? >> It was. Yeah. Cuz I just thought like if I could do this, you know, and and push your mind. It’s it’s it’s having a a war with your own thoughts because your mind would tell you you can’t do this, blah blah blah blah. So you’re having a fight with yourself.
