I'd fallen virtually every hop,
1:13:37
and it's just like having your leg
broken about every time, and I remember

1:13:41
looking back where I'd come
from, it was just over 20m,

1:13:45
and it had taken me ages. And
the pain, just of the 20+m...

1:14:01
I can be insanely stubborn.
1:14:04
And I do like to have things my way.
1:14:08
And things were seriously not
going my way over these days.

1:14:18
I'd look at a rock and then I'd go,
"Right, I get there in 20 minutes".

1:14:23
Once I decided I was going to
get that distance in 20 minutes,

1:14:27
I bloody well was gonna do it.
1:14:32
And it would help me, because I'd
get halfway through the distance,

1:14:35
and I'd be in such pain,
1:14:37
I just couldn't bear the thought
of getting up and falling on again,

1:14:40
but I'd look at the target and
think "I've got to get there".

1:14:54
And I'd think, when I was
Iying a bit long, and I think,

1:14:57
"no, you gotta get there. You only got
10 minutes left, only 10 minutes left!"
