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!"

1:15:03
It seemed like there was a very cold,
pragmatic part of me that was saying,

1:15:08
"You have to do this, this and
this, if you're gonna get there".

1:15:27
"Come on, keep moving, keep moving"
1:15:37
"Right, get up, and do it again"
1:15:45
It was quite insistent, and quite clear.
1:15:50
It was almost like a voice or a separate
part of me, telling me to do something.

1:15:58
Very uncaring. No sympathy,
