Hey, Mace, how's all of us? No crack here, just. It's half-two in the morning. An early night these days. Ah, not parody and I just can't sleep. Tomorrow will be fun. Trouble sleeping, low mood, stress and feeling anxious can all be signs you should check in with your mental health. For a support that can help, use the My Mental Health Plan tool as your mental health does IE from the HSC. (Music) Hi, how are you? Welcome, welcome to the end of the day. Finally you can start at the end of the day. And this week it was better because you go back on your own with Juan Alvarez driving the U.S. to take you wherever you want with your driver and finally with Don Raulio Heorza. Here in Zaragoza, in Argonrad, and in Spain. Very good, welcome. I'm waiting for you here for a week. But have you seen this? Have you seen this? There's another day with this week that we managed to go to the territory. But hey, there's a good one. It's all over, my friend. It's all over, and as you can see, it's a tradition in Erero. You know you have to talk about the mountains, Spain, race, the week before the territory. We talked about it in real time, as we were developing the race. We were telling about it in direct, as we were talking about. Well, my name is Yen. And finally, I can't be. And today we want to say this is Juan Arabama to summarize and analyze what this edition has been. And more particularly, the participation of Yen. Yen, how are you? Welcome. Very good. Well, well, first of all, thank you very much for making our invitation here. Well, it's been a week ahead of all the Spain and others. How do you find the physical level and the mental level as well? The physical level has everything perfect. I only have the feet. I don't know the bones, but I do a bit. With the subject of so much impact, with the iron and the legs. But in fact, I still want to do politics. I've done spinning yesterday and yesterday and tomorrow morning I'm sure. Well, and from the head, I don't know if you want to go back to the year you're coming. If you don't want to see Spain again in painting or well, because at the end of the day, we always say that it's cruel and human and others, but with you. It seems to be more special. Well, I'm still looking at it because it was a year since I did a lot. I made a video before starting the career that was the first year, after many, many years ago, that was running without pain. When I saw Mallorca twice a month ago, it was ultra-trail. It was the most painful of Baytan-e-B. I still remember that in 130 kilometers, 13 times, the pain that rastrated, because I have a lot of gut and a lot of fat. But, with protective, with wax, with protective, with javi and vitro, which we take a lot of years working on. To see more of Mallorca, we did some changes, also changes of shoes, less death, more anxious, and it was the result, it was incredible. And once I took a volume of eight weeks, spectacular. I didn't think I'd been able to get out of here once, two months ago, and I told you, I was anxious to start painting, because I didn't think I'd be able to get out of here, and the expectations were very high. It happened to me that I would tell you, but yes, I don't know if I want to go back and forth. Well, now we continue to talk, but we're going to introduce, because we don't accompany Antonio Codina. Antonio, you're welcome, as always. Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you? And our partner from. Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you? Good morning. I don't know, Antonio Albert, who wants to break the fire? Who is the first one that asked you to come here? Antonio? Antonio, Antonio. I have something to say. You know, I live here, so, of course, I live in the countryside, and I've done it a couple of times, but in fact, we don't know each other at all. But it's a very curious result. The truth is, what happens to you? You know, with who? It's an incredible event. Respect to Anton. And, of course, we see it from here, that we're looking at the tracker, and we can ask a little bit about the conditions. But, how do you live? How do you live there? There, inside. And you have the information of the event that you have, the respect of the second. And how do you take more decisions when you go to a place, and you say, "I'm going to keep pulling, because I want to keep this advantage, or I'm going to try to sleep a little and relax." That's what we always ask. Of course, we're here. We see it from the top, but of course, you're inside. And I don't know, how do you live there? Yes, well, look, that's great. This year, we started. a group. we had a lot to do with the Goethe tournament. And two days before, it was going to be spectacular. The first stage was very hard. It's about 100km away. The goal was to be surrounded every day. It was fascinating. And we went to a group with John Kelly, the four five that went forward, John Kelly and the other one that I don't remember was the Moustico Stage. And in the end, we wanted the first stage, and the other one. I didn't want to jump, because I said, "If you're happy, because I already said two feet, I'm going well, but I wanted to keep training until six or seven hours. And I wanted to spend those hours to see if the feet were still working, or not, when I said it was working, I started to pray, and then I got the first one, and I was alone. So, every time I see myself, and where is the second one, or I can see it in my mobile, and I can see it in my mobile. And if you look at it, you can see the distance. Well, I found it super good, I didn't have to remove the shoes with the other feet. I didn't want it to be pain, I could be very fast, before I could be so fast. And I didn't lose time. And, well, what happened to me, it's very simple. There are a lot of people who can come to the room, and then one day, close their eyes and you can sleep. A hour or two or 40 minutes, and you wake up and you continue. I am very sleepy, I try it, and I try to close my eyes, I can't sleep with my legs, because I'm in the race. And, like I said, I wake up and I go, and sometimes in the last two, there were so many people, because it was the people of the "Challengernort" or "The Sur", and that I didn't know. And, of course, I got to the point, there were three people, and I didn't even have to move, or sleep. So, I was a "Challengernort" of the hosties. I was too sleepy, when we were going to a "Challengernort" and my fault was that, when I realized, there were three nights without sleeping, when I was told, I was going to be a "bullar". I didn't know where I was, nor where I was in the race. Imagine, I talked to my legs, I tried to follow the path, a dog that was with a woman, thinking that she was attacking me, imagine how she was walking, and I told them I didn't want to run. I didn't know what to say, I told them I didn't want to run, because I was tired, and I didn't know, I wanted to go, but I didn't want to run, but I didn't know what to do. They told me I was tired. And when I had two hours to sleep, I woke up, and I said to myself, I didn't know what to do. Imagine, I didn't want to die, 20 kilometers of my life, I didn't want to die. That's what I wanted to do. And tell us. In the cabin. No, nothing. When I told myself, I told myself, when I told myself, I told myself, it was normal, and I didn't tell them, and I didn't think that I was in a car race. I thought I was training, imagine that. Eugenie, Antonio, and in a race like the Spain race, in which, some days and hours of effort, I didn't sleep at all. From what Eugenie said, I don't know if there is a kind of flexibility in the race, that you really think if you retire or not. Let's stop sleeping. When you wake up, you know what you want. So, we decided to continue. We didn't continue. Yes, but where was that decision? Eugenie? It was on the top of the cabin. It was on the cabin. Yes, on the cabin, there was the rescue team. And I told them that they didn't ask me or anything. I told them, "I stay here because I don't know. I don't want to go to the hospital." "I'm not in a car race. I don't want to be in a car race." I told them the truth. They told me, that just after two hours, when I wake up, I tell them, that I don't explain everything. And then, when I wake up, when I wake up, I tell them that I don't want to go to the hospital, The most powerful thing is that I was fine. The next day, I was fine. I was fine. I was fine. The first thing I wanted to tell you is that everyone here was super happy thinking that you were going to win. I wanted to tell you that you know what you want and what you want here. I want to tell you that you want to win. I wanted to tell you that you want to win. I wanted to tell you that you want to win.
