      Julian: I think most people would be better off with more pain in their lives, honestly.I think that, if nothing else, they would appreciate the pain-free times more. But I think also there's this self-induced aspect of, You've struggled, you've overcome, you've gotten through, then you're confident and you both enjoy the rest of your life more, but also you feel like you can do things and you take on challenges that you wouldn't otherwise try, and you get to points that you wouldn't otherwise reach.

    Out of comfort zone

    It's amazing that it was filmed when we first have 3 finishers in the history of the race, and I can't resist the feeling that Jared and Brett are real characters like the ones we see in a Marvel production. Great job, and Lazarus is a real legend!
