0:01:26 > 0:01:27- I didn't know.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- But I was going to do - my very best...
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- ..to run three peaks, - three ultra marathons in three days!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36- The 3/3/3.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- An ultra marathon covers a distance - of over 32 miles.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Day one covered 50 miles from - Llanberis to Snowdon's summit...
0:01:50 > 0:01:56- ..to Beddgelert and Dolgellau before - reaching the foot of Cader Idris.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Dawn broke on day one - and I was raring to go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- I couldn't shake - the doubts in my mind...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- ..after having a heavy cold - in recent weeks.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- It's the morning of the challenge.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- Am I nervous?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Of course I am!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- MOBILE PHONE

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- It's Dad calling - to wish me good luck.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25- Hi, Dad.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Hearing from my family - always gets my blood flowing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- They know that despite the nerves - and dark times...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- ..that this makes me happy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Running and being with family - makes me feel alive.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Yes, I'm ready to start now.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- MOBILE PHONE
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- That's my husband phoning now!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Hi, Sion.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I've been incredibly lucky...
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- ..to have competed - in the world's toughest races.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- People ask how I ended up - doing all these adventures.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I'm very proud of my answer.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I think it's down to my upbringing - and the fact that I'm Welsh.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- My family nurtured me - but I was shaped by Wales.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- This is a country that is an - incredible adventure playground...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- ..but I don't know half of it...
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ..so I'm about to fulfil - a lifelong dream.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Be kind to me, dear Wales!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- This wasn't meant to be - a competitive race.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I didn't want to be - restricted by time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- This was an adventure and - an opportunity to enjoy the paths...
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- ..with others - who use the Welsh landscape...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- ..as their adventure playground.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Owen Roberts - was the first to join me.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- The successful, young runner - had just returned from training...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- ..with world famous - distance runners.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- And he was going to run with me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I trained with some - of the best athletes in the world.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- You trained with my hero, - David Roche.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Yes, I went there and ran with him, - which was an incredible experience.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Did they welcome you as a Welshman?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Yes, they knew all about Wales - and were very kind to me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- Right, OK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47- Are you ready?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48- Are you ready?- - Yes, ready.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- You'll be like a mountain goat - and I'll be more of an elephant!
0:04:55 > 0:05:01- I knew that the first climb to - Wales's highest summit would hurt.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- The pain was immediate as my legs - were heavy and I was overheating.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- The magnitude of the challenge - started to hit home.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- For the first time...
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- ..I started to question whether or - not I could complete the 150 miles.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- It was such a relief - to see the Halfway House Cafe.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- The support there was amazing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- It was very encouraging.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30- And gradually...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- ..the rhythm of our steps - became a form of hypnosis.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- I stopped thinking about - the challenge in its entirety.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- I simply focused on the next step.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Yeah!
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- Well done.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- Well done.- - Thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- It was a shock to the system.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- That cold had affected me.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- I'm feeling alright now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- I've reached the summit - so it's all downhill now.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- The best way to describe it - is a roller coaster of emotions.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- We've completed the highest summit.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Yes, and it was within our time - of an hour and 30 minutes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- I'm happy with that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- As we raced down - towards Llyn Cwellyn...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- ..I appreciated - that incredible feeling...
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- ..of conquering Snowdon.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- You look back - and see how far you've come.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- That emotion never changes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- There's something magical - about that mountain.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Wow!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- I feel honoured - to be able to do this.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Owen didn't break a sweat.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Owen didn't break a sweat.- - I don't know about that!
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- You can cope with the heat after - being in Kenya three weeks ago.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- We ran to the top - in an hour and 20 minutes...
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- ..and took 45 minutes to get down - which is brilliant.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- It's great to have someone - by your side.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- They make the miles just fly by.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- I didn't want to rush - or overrun it...
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- ..because I need to get - to the end of it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I can't think - of a better running partner.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- That's the first stage over.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- The first peak has been done.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- I've done ten miles and have 150 - to go but I can't think like that.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I'll just focus on - one stage at a time.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- Goodbye!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- As Snowdon - faded into the distance...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- ..I was full of confidence - and sped to Beddgelert...
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- ..to meet the inspirational athlete, - Malcolm Jones.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- I've known Malcolm for many years...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- ..and interviewed him - for the Snowdonia Marathon.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- I find his story - truly inspirational.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- He has survived - many serious illnesses...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- ..but has turned it all around...
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- ..and is one of the best athletes - in his age range in Britain.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- It's quite a story.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- I was diagnosed - with cancer 25 years ago...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- ..but I survived!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- In the same year - of having my treatment...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- ..I completed the Snowdon Race.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- I felt privileged to do it - that year.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- I was glad to have done it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38- Right, here we go!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I think Lowri's challenge - is incredible.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- I've run a marathon in a day but - she has three consecutive marathons.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- I take my hat off to her.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Beddgelert was glorious.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- We ran alongside the river...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- ..and the conversation - with Malcolm was flowing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I was trying to get some tips - about his secrets.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Even when - you were fighting cancer...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- ..did you still have that desire - to go out running?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Yes, I did.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I had to travel quite a distance - to go for my treatment.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I asked them if I could have - my treatment in the morning.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- The reason for this was because - I'd take my trainers with me...
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- ..so that I could go running in the - afternoon but they wouldn't let me!
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- I'm sure it helped you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yes, it gave me something else - to think about...
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- ..as opposed to the treatment - and going home to rest.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- He really boosted my confidence - if I'm totally honest.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- After giving birth to Gwilym...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- ..a lot of people had told me...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- ..that I wouldn't be able to run - as I had done in the past.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- But he said - that anything is possible.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- I remember his stories...
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- ..and the way he overcame his - personal problems and challenges.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- I have a lot of respect for him.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- You've got older - but haven't stopped.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- I think that sets - an excellent example to us all.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- I am slower than I once was.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- I tend to do triathlons or duathlons - which does help my knees.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- I couldn't do two to three hours of - training on the mountains at my age.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- I've had to learn - that when my leg starts to hurt...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- ..that it's one of the signs - to tell me to stop.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- But when something gets better...
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- ..and I get to go out again...
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- ..there's a great sense of relief - that I am able to do it again.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- The mind is a powerful thing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- It's two things.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- The legs and the mind.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I'm a strong believer in those.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- You're a friend for life, thank you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- I appreciate it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- You're an inspiration.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I'm halfway through it now...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- ..and it's turning into - a game of psychology.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- I've started counting down the miles - but there's still a long way to go.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- I'm trying not to think about it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41- Thank you, Malcolm!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- I really admire her.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- The section we've just completed - was only small...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- ..when compared with what - she had done before we met...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- ..but she's doing well.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- If she continues at this rate, - then she'll do it in three days.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Malcolm's diligence is his strength.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- I left the Oakeley Arms - full of determination.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- I'd done 26 miles and only had the - distance of another marathon to go.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- I'm passing through areas - that are full of history.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- They give me a new lease of life...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- ..and I'm feeling strong.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- There are also some paths - that are very beautiful...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- ..and inspire me for a few miles.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- It's a great way to see the area.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40- If I had any negative thoughts, then - I wouldn't complete the challenge.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- I had to stay positive.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- A phone call to home - was a huge boost to my spirits.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- After that, I was left on my own...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- ..just me and my thoughts...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- ..finding clarity.
0:12:59 > 0:12:59- .
0:13:02 > 0:13:02- Subtitles
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- After 36 miles of feeling great...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- ..the positivity - turned to negativity.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- The rain and fog - descending over Coed y Brenin...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- ..took my spirits with them.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- I was tired and getting cold.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- I had to remind myself of - the reasons behind this challenge.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- I was raising money for the charity, - Cerebra...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- ..teaching my son - to follow his dreams...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ..and the importance - of taking those small steps.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- It was at that moment...
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- ..I realized that by putting - one foot in front of the other...
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- ..I was one step closer - to Cader Idris.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- But first, at Coed y Brenin...
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- ..I was meeting the former mountain - bike champion, Sian Roberts...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- ..in her own adventure playground.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- I'm tired, Sian - so I need some inspiration.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- That's fine.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- One ultra is more than enough...
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- ..but three ultras on three - consecutive days is incredible!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- It's just brilliant.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Lowri's the only one - who would try it!
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- The switch has been flicked - and the mind is carrying it all now.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- I'm worrying about tomorrow...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- ..when I should be focusing - on the next mile.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Focus on the small sections - and think about today.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- I'm so excited to have your company.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Sian has raced bikes professionally - around the world...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- ..and run for Wales...
0:14:48 > 0:14:54- ..so I knew that she could totally - empathize with how I was feeling.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I started running - in the early 1980s...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- ..in local races - and local mountain races...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- ..with the Eryri Harriers - and the Hebog Runners.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- I represented Wales - in mountain races...
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- ..but I injured my hip - and I couldn't run...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- ..so I started on the mountain bike.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- I got involved in the sport - as it developed in Britain...
0:15:19 > 0:15:20- ..and was successful.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- You were fifth in Europe.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- You were fifth in Europe.- - Yes, I was fifth in Europe.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- I won the British Championships - a few times too...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- ..and I was the downhill champion.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Yes, it was great.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- It was brilliant.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- I did all my training in this area - when I was racing.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- At that time, we were the only - people who cycled at Coed y Brenin.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Coed y Brenin is really busy - with mountain bikers.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- It has five signed trails.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- There's also trails for runners.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- This was the first - mountain bike trail centre...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- ..and the first - running trail centre.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Running can be a constant battle - with yourself.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- You fight against the little voice - that is telling you to stop.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Sometimes, it all gets too much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Talking to Sian - made the thoughts disappear.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I'm starting to feel my muscles...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- ..and they are screaming at me!
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- I'm not surprised.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- How many miles have you run today?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- How many miles have you run today?- - I've done 38 miles.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31- Wow! Well done!
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- I'm going through - a roller coaster of emotions.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- I can believe that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- A minute ago, - I was feeling great and then bang!
0:16:40 > 0:16:41- It just hits you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42- It just hits you.- - Yes, it smothers me.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- It was great at Coed y Brenin...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- ..to literally bump into - some other runners.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Hello, how are you?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- I heard why they ran...
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- ..and of their love of running in a - group which is something I don't do.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- How many miles will you do tonight?
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Despite the varying levels - of fitness found within the group...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- ..they all ran together - and enjoyed it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I think that's the story of running.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It's the comradery you get - with running.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I get a real buzz - from going out and running.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- I've made friends and travelled - the world for various races.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- It's enriched my life.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I'm very lucky to live in this area.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- I can still go out and enjoy it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Is it getting any easier?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- I always found that - when I was doing the long stages...
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- ..I struggled at the start - but found my stride after a while.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- I'm thinking about - tomorrow's 60 miles.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- I need to remember the time - that I did 60 miles before...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- ..when my legs were tired.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Training means nothing - compared to mental power.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- By this point, - I was ignoring the fatigue...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- ..and even in the rain...
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- ..running through Coed y Brenin with - Sian was a wonderful experience.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It's been lovely to meet you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- How long have we had? - Was it eight miles?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- It's flown!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- It's downhill to Dolgellau.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- We put the world to rights.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- We put the world to rights.- - Yes, that happens with two women!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I've never met Lowri before - and she's lovely.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- This challenge of three ultras - in three days is nuts!
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- She's mentally strong.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38- How are the legs?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- How are the legs?- - They are fine but my back hurts.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- I'd started to get my second wind...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- ..but was getting cold - because of the rain.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I had also suffered with a bad cold.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- As we approached Dolgellau...
0:18:54 > 0:19:00- ..people started telling me that - it was best to sleep in a hotel...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- ..and not a bivy as I'd planned.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Thank you, Sian.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- Thank you, Dafydd.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- The fact that - she's taken antibiotics...
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- ..means that the body - is trying to fight two things.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- It's fighting the cold, the cough - and she's running this distance...
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- ..so it's best - if she spends the night in a hotel.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- If she doesn't take this advice...
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- ..it could jeopardize the challenge - as the body won't have time to rest.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Night started to fall - and I was feeling frustrated.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- My legs weren't moving quick enough.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- I'd lost too much time.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Phil from the support team - joined me for a while.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- Despite all this - and even after covering 47 miles...
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- ..I was confident of facing - those three difficult miles...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- ..towards Cader Idris.
0:20:04 > 0:20:04- How are you feeling?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- How are you feeling?- - I'm fine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07- Yes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Are you going to stay - in the hotel tonight?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- Do you think I should?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- Do you think I should?- - Yes, I do.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- This was a very difficult decision - for me.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- I wanted this to be - a real adventure...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- ..without taking any shortcuts - by sleeping in a hotel.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- They didn't understand my thoughts - behind this challenge.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- I wanted to run alongside nature...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- ..but also sleep - in the outdoors too.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Not sleeping outside meant I would - spend the night in Dolgellau...
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- ..which was three miles away - from Cader Idris.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- I know it was only three miles...
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- ..but I didn't want to run - those extra three miles...
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- ..on the second day which was - the longest day of the challenge.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- I think psychologically...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- ..I wanted to finish - at the foot of Cader Idris...
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- ..but my problem is that I'm wet.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- There aren't any heroics here.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Nobody's going to give me a medal - for sleeping in a van!
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- I took the advice of the expert - and spent the night in a proper bed.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- I was very disappointed - and felt like I'd let myself down...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- ..but that's the way it goes.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- I appreciate it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Agreeing with Gwyn did hurt...
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- ..but the body is like a machine - and should be looked after...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- ..so I had to ignore my frustration.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Today has been an incredible day.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- It hasn't finished as I'd planned.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- All I can think about now is the - 60 miles that I'm running tomorrow.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- It's going to be quite a day...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- ..but the way I've been - staying positive about it...
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- ..is by reminding myself - of those times in the past...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- ..when I've done 60 miles - on tired legs.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- There was the Amazon, - the Ring of Fire, the Arctic.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Um...
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- I managed to do it then...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- ..and...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- ..I'm sure I'll do it tomorrow.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- It's very quiet.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- The games are playing with my head.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- I'm losing patience.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- If tomorrow is anything like today, - then I won't finish in three days.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- I'm serious!
