0:40Okay. We're good. Okay. Alex, are you on your phone? I was posting a story. Perfect. Saying we're recording. And maybe, oh, Harrison's phone's in a great place. Harrison's phone is in a great place. You know, I have noticed. Maybe his Apple Watch. that my shorts that I've been wearing, those Elwood shorts that I love, they really hike up quite a bit when I record. So they may not be recording shorts anymore. It's good. I'm shocked that no one's commented. You see like my thigh, like almost up to my butt. They can't be commenting that. Yes, you can. That's grounds for cancellation. You couldn't comment on a woman's body.

1:20You can't comment on a man's. I can comment if a man is showing too much leg. I think I'm showing too much leg in those shorts. People comment that I'm showing too much belly and I want them all to be quiet. If I'm showing too much leg, I want to know that from everyone. Okay? But here's the thing. Commentators as well as the people in this room. It's commenters. Taters. He always calls them commentators. I want you to wear shorter shorts. I think you have pretty legs. I think you wear these low baggy shorts. My old shorts are very short. No, they're not. They're not very short. They're average.

1:54I'm happy with the length of these shorts. Yeah, your high rock shorts. Are those your high rock shorts? No, these are Lulu's. Okay, let's start. Ready? Are you ready? Mm-hmm. Okay. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast. I have to say I love recording the day that things drop. Because I just posted an Insta story and I'm like, we'll just talk to you around 4 p.m. today. So it's very IRL. Yeah, it really is. Harrison came from a workout class. He's on – you're just on a full health kick, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Is that accurate to say about you? I would say you're dialed in. I'm focused on getting in the best possible place health-wise that I can before the little guy comes.

2:34Must be nice, huh? No, I'm just kidding. I'm not. Yeah, I don't want to say that in a... No, with Tate, I really struggled with that. I was like, you're just getting in. And I don't know why. Like, I should have been applauding that for you. But instead, I was like, you can't get in such good shape because I'm just over here not getting in good shape. But what I'm doing is I'm walking every day and I feel a lot better than I did with her. So I'm happy. I'm also, I need to cheerlead you doing that because it's better for the family. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I definitely feel very supported right now as I'm like, went through the quest of trying to get back in shape.

3:12You are very supportive. And the first time around, I felt guilted when I would go and work out. Yeah. That's what I wasn't sure if I'm allowed to say. Am I allowed to say that? You are allowed to say that. And here's why. And I'm not mad that I felt guilted. I understood it. But that's, yeah, it just, it felt like, yeah. I felt so sick with Tate every single day that, yeah, I actually can't even justify why I was like that. That wasn't cool of me. It was actually postpartum, I think is what I'm referring to. And I've got to say on this note. Oh, I don't think so. Timing is such a blur. i was gonna ask you guys a question yeah because like with tate she was very her smallest like in the fall and winter and like i feel like it's a whole different ball game with the summer jules it's a whole different ball game i'm so excited i see comments of people saying the best time to have a baby is in the summer no the best time to have a baby i have a lot of conviction on this now is I think March or April because you have the baby and then you're not pregnant in the heat of summer, which is huge because being pregnant when it's really hot outside is the most miserable thing.

4:24It's the most measurable thing on the planet. But when you're in your third trimester during the cold months, it's great. Then you have the baby and you postpartum by the pool. And I think like you can go on walks and things and like every, and things are happy in the summer and then you know the vibe outside is great people are traveling people are off school so i love this trajectory and i just think as a person like you're able to stay more active like i just think the vibe is going to be so different between like not working out october to december versus like you're going to want to work out in april well i think that where things got specific where the where the like where I I felt guilty working out was like she had the the the stick like the crazy stitching and I don't know how much of it we've talked about on the podcast well we can do a little bit of recap of right now but she her physical recovery was significantly like it was extreme so let's do some things it's very hard first of all if you're listening more hard than normal i know they're all very hard okay okay so if you're listening um subscribe to the podcast which you guys are doing but a lot of you that listen aren't actually subscribed so we need you to subscribe like the video and okay i hate to do this i hate to do this what what's wrong with it you're not a pleaser oh and you know when i noticed it officially when i noticed it last night when we went for tacos harrison i recorded us ordering the tacos because i was going to do a talk or review with tate but then we got there and tate wasn't in the mood and so i didn't i didn't want to do that and and i recorded it i'm like wow she just placed her order and didn't say please because your behavior at the taco shop i i am shocked you want to do this i'm gonna put the video up they had to open up a second lane because you were sitting there asking so many questions i I was so mortified that I had to walk off.

6:28So you were so mortified you couldn't say please? No. I was asking her about the menu. I'm going to put up the video. They had to open up a second. A guy came over and saw the line getting so long that he had to open up a second line. This is your local taco shop. Everyone knows what they want. There's quesadillas, there's tacos, and there's burritos, and that's it. and I mean this man stood there and asked question after like you guys know how he is sometimes he's a little detail oriented I was so mortified that I just had to walk off but let me ask you this no did I want to be at the taco shop thank you so much for going to the yeah yeah so but but here's my question how are my manners they I have 10 out of 10 I have 10 You don't say please.

7:18But I have 10 out of 10 manners. On the subscribe component, there was no please. Guys, please. Please. Please subscribe. Am I crazy on this, Jules? Alex has really great manners. No, her manners are amazing. Her manners are amazing. She doesn't say please. You're not a pleaser. That's fine because you've got 10 out of 10 manners elsewhere. I agree. You have 10 out of 10 manners. I'm just like, I noticed you don't say please. You were with me recently where the waiter said you can stop saying thank you. I feel like a crazy person right now. I'm not talking about your manners. I'm talking about your manners.

7:54I'm not talking about your manners in general. I'm talking about please, even that dynamic where he said, and he absolutely said, you can stop saying thank you. He absolutely complimented you on how gracious you were being. That doesn't take away from the fact you don't say please. Okay, maybe I'm not good at saying please. I will try to add that to my - Does it matter? Like I always grew up with the understanding like that you needed to say please. Well, Bubber's – I mean Bubber is learning please. And you have Bubber say please all the time. We are saying please in our household. If my legs are in the way, like if I have my legs on a coffee table and Bubber's trying to get by, Alex would be like, do not move those legs until she says please.

8:39And she makes Bubber say please for me to move my legs. Well, I don't want Bubber to think she can come over and just be moving people's legs. because I'm a bummer to know. You got to say, please move your legs. Hold on. I want to do, I love sort of giving people an expectation off the top of what we're going to be talking about. And apparently we're going to be talking about my manners for five more minutes. And then what we're going to do, we're going to do a little bummer update. We've got the pacifier. We've got some milestones that she's up to in her life. We've got our Easter plans. We've got some things mom and dad, what Harrison and I have been up to, we're going to talk about.

9:15We have a lot of IRL updates. And then we have a bicker of the week. And so it's a fun episode. Here's the thing. Harrison emailed us this. It's called the Deathbed Regret List. And he was going through it last night and we were programming and he was like, too serious. So this is supposed to be an update, a light, a fun episode. And we also watched the first episode of Paradise. So we're going to talk about what we did. We're going to talk about so many things. I really like what you did right there. Thank you. What is it? please tell me i like that yeah i like that you brought the listener in on the programming which then leads to like the type of episode this is the mindset of this episode with the cutting the deathbed thing to hopefully bring it back to the next one and you guys imagine that level of detail ordering at the taco shop and that's why they had to that's why they had to open the second line.

10:12I gotta be honest. I thought the taco shop was a six out of 10. Carby comfort food is basically the meaning of life. But when it comes to counting your macros, sometimes two things can't be true at the same time. You can't have the bread you used to have and still meet your macros. And that's where hero bread comes into play. You guys, you would never know that it's zero to five net carbs and 11 to 32 grams of fiber just from the texture. You'd think, wow, no way. This tastes too good to be true. You get the soft, fluffy experience that you know and love, whether you're packing fresh wraps for everyday lunches or toasting up to 19 grams of a protein breakfast bagel.

10:57There's no compromises, you guys, just flavor. Zero to five net carbs, zero grams of sugar, and 11 to 32 grams of fiber. All of your favorite recipes are covered with heroes, bread sliced bread loaves, tortillas, bagels, and noodles. I'm telling you, this might seem too good to be true, but we have tried it and Harrison was obsessed with it before they came on the podcast. And then I tried it and let me tell you what, it truly is unbelievable. So Hero Bread is offering 10 % off your order to our listeners. go to hero.co and use code two parents at checkout that's two parents at h-e-r-o dot c-o so okay we went to this please do not say the name i won't because i don't know it because neither of us can remember it but i thought it was a 10 out of 10 our friends referred us to this taco shop that they said was so good and we went last night and it was everything i wanted it was i don't want so much fanciness in my in my mexican food i just want a burrito it was a bean cheese rice and chicken burrito and it was perfect the and most importantly do you want to know most importantly that's your i felt good afterwards that's most important i ordered all four tacos on the menu we know one of the four was amazing the al pastor the other ones the steak was not good the chicken was not good and then the fourth was a hybrid where the pork bites were great and the steak plates weren't i felt like they just overcooked the chicken and the steak and i felt the steak was chewy oh my chicken was phenomenally cooked i think sometimes the pork was amazing though like if you just got the pork tacos i could see how you'd love it but the group chat was blowing up about how everyone like loved this place and i didn't want to be like the debbie downer no you gotta you gotta say your piece harrison you have to tell you to be honest you gotta be honest about how you feel about the food place as we go try i think please can be offset with how are you may i get thank you so much i feel like then sometimes i get may i please get very different i think hi how are you how's it going may i get the bean burrito with chicken And okay, amazing.

13:14Please. Thank you so much. Is better than can I please get the chicken burrito? I think that - Tone matters. I think tone matters. I think there's some other things you can wrap up in the present that matter. But I'm going to add saying please to the top of my brain. So Bubber says please in sign language. Because she can't say please quite yet. So she does this right here. It's a swipe across the chest. And thank you is a kiss. but she started cheating on the pleases have you noticed she's doing this if she yeah if she's like if she really wants something and you say say please you yes do it really really but if she's but like sometimes she'll know it depends her vibe but she smiles really big when she says the please bubber's in a really fun stage so one thing let's do the milestone of bubber right now so she's learned to say please she can say more words it's really fun we're starting to learn words like bye she can put words together now bye mama she put words together which is great when she puts a purse on she's not going anywhere because she can't open the door she'll start telling us both bye because she's got her purse on it is the cutest bye bye it's so cute i have a question what are we at risk for her being able to open the door before she can understand that She's not allowed to open the front door.

14:35Well, I don't know because we have a knob door and she can't do knobs yet. But if so, we'll just start locking it or we'll put a thing on it. It's easy. Yeah, but we should probably get ahead of that. Yeah, but we'll watch it. Yeah. Like Bubber's never downstairs near the door where one of us isn't. No, but she's quick. She is quick, but she can't haul it down our front steps. I mean, it's pretty cute. She runs to the front steps. that once she gets there, it's about two minutes for her to get down them all the way. So we do have a second, but one question that we did want to ask the audience, because we haven't researched it yet.

15:13I think we could make a tick talk and we could learn a lot about this. Um, because last night, for example, something that I learned from you all, I was reading all the comments about introducing, you know, a toddler to a newborn baby. And some of the comments I had seen before I didn't learn a lot, but the one thing I did learn was make sure to also tell the baby, I need to go love on your sister Tate. I'm going to go cook with Tate. Because we'll always be telling Tate, hey, honey, we have to go be with your brother for a second. But make sure to do the reverse of that so she knows we're sharing our time.

15:46And I thought that was a really good comment. So smart, so simple, but even though it's super simple, I don't know if I would have thought about it, especially being super intentional with it. Yeah, telling the baby boy like, hey, we're going to go hang out with your sister now. I love that. We've also started – what Harrison and I have started doing is making our schedule for when the baby does come, which is exciting. Like Tate and Winnie are going to be over at Winnie's house for maybe two weeks every day. And we're starting to figure out like where we want help, how we want to do our meals, things like that.

16:18What we're not doing, which is like really surprising me, like we haven't ordered the postpartum kit. we haven't it's just so second baby we haven't done his closet at all it's so funny we haven't ordered newborn diapers so friday is good friday correct it is and i think that i want to dedicate all of friday to house organizing okay i i did make a bit of an easter plan on at the end at at four or five o 'clock. Me and my mom. On Friday? Yes, me and my mom's group chat. We're going to do, we're either going to go see the Easter Bunny or we're going to have an Easter egg hunt. Very exciting. Yeah.

16:59I had an idea for Sunday brunch as well. Sunday brunch? What is it?

17:07I think that we should have a big brunch at our house. And I think we should like open it up and invite like a bunch of people. Love it. I would love to do that. Like not try and do like a, you know, four, six, eight, but just, hey, come on over. Anybody can come. Very neighborhood focused. So speaking of the neighborhood, we do have, I checked this morning online, we do have an Easter egg hunt at nine o 'clock on Saturday morning. We have to drop off eggs, 12, a dozen eggs filled by Friday. And the hunt is Sunday or Saturday? Saturday at 9 a.m. But Easter is Sunday. Correct. but last year they did the same thing because people go to church on Sunday morning and they go to brunch so I think they try to avoid doing the egg hunt that day.

17:52Okay, that makes a lot of sense. So we actually have an Easter-filled weekend. We've got Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But I have sent you so many Easter recipes. They're not even recipes. It's like the body of the bunny is a banana and the ears are the grapes. I want you to make some of these. I want to get ahead of something. What? I'm planning on going to a new barbecue place on Friday. Okay. I'm telling you now in case any logistics need to happen. Okay. What time are we going? Sometime between probably 1230 and 230. Okay, great. I think that's good. Okay. I think that's really exciting. What's the barbecue joint?

18:25I can't find it. My phone's over there. That's good. It's so good that your phone's over there. But it's a bus. It's like an old broken down like school bus. Love that. Yeah. It looks really cool. You should take Bubber and you guys can see the wheels on the bus. Go round and round. The horn goes beep, beep, beep. I mean that song. I think that I don't think it's a I think it's a like a guy's thing. That's also nap time. Who are you going with? We'll get into that later. Well, when are we going to get into it? Tell us. Tell the class. Well, I don't know. How many guys are gone? How many? Two? Four?

18:58Well, I went for barbecue with two people on Friday and I really liked it. And I'm going to invite the two of them again. Two people on the street. Yeah. Yeah. He's going. You're going with street buddies. That's good. Let me just say this. OK, hold on. let's, let's go down my list here because I think we have a really good list of things that are happening. So we were on Tate's updates. Now she can say words, which is really cute. She's learning. So for example, I was getting my hair done at home on Sunday or on Saturday morning in the girl that does my hair's name is Katie. So we're like, where's dad?

19:28And she points to data. Where's mama? Where's Tate? And then we say, this is Katie. She can't say Katie. She was calling her Kiki. So we say, then where's Kiki, Kiki. And so she would walk around and she would leave and she would come back and she'd go Kiki. Like she knows people's name. She knows a little girl across the street's name now and she can remember it. So that's been a really fun development and she loves, sometimes she'll have just woken up and she'll be like, Tate. And we're like, yes, that is. Thank you for that, Bubber. You are Tate. So that's a really cute milestone that's happening for us at 18 months.

19:57I'm sure it happens for everybody at different times. And then the last one is Harrison gets a gold star for having Bubber's pacifier removal become a lot easier. So what did you do here? Tell us. I don't think this is rocket science. But I think it's cool that you did it. But, and I think I alluded to it on the last episode. Oh, the thing you were trying for seven days? Did I say that I was trying it? No, you dork. We were trying the other thing for seven days. What other? Oh, we don't, I don't know yet. I'm going to ask you Thursday. Okay. Oh, can we talk about it since you failed? Yes. No, because we're going to, it's weekdays.

20:34It's weekdays. So it's, it's literally Monday to Thursday. why you were gone it's monday to thursday it's because weekends you can't do it weekends you can't do it it's still in play okay i did it on thursday people are going to be confused so we got to move on yeah just on thursday we're going to have an update for something that alex and i it's more of an alex and i trying but it does relate to bubber and who's better at it you for sure alex is i'm really good for sure i'm pregnant with number two which means i know firsthand and figuring out your feeding journey can be stressful, both mentally and physically, which is why I decided to give myself grace the second time around, however it ends up going, which is why I love partnering with Bobby.

21:17And I'm so excited to partner with Bobby this time around because I'm giving myself options and I want a formula company that does the same. And the thing about Bobby, they offer parents free lactation support, expert led combo feeding classes to keep your milk supply going and high quality organic formulas you can trust without having to slow boat them over from Europe you guys whether you're combo feeding exclusively formula feeding or just want a backup for those just in case moments for me for example I was at a meeting one time I'll never forget the proper hotel and I had to go to the bathroom pump and uber the milk home and that would be an example of a time this time around where I'm not going to put so much pressure on myself.

21:59I'm just going to say, hey, let's use our Bobby at home. Bobby is our go-to trusted choice. All Bobby formulas are designed for easy digestion. They're molded after breast milk, and they're made with certified organic, non-GMO, pesticide-free ingredients you can feel good about putting in your baby's bottle. I love knowing that Bobby sweats every detail of the quality, every ingredient, every test, every can, so we as parents don't have to because we have so much to worry about, that this is one area where we can leave it to the experts, and Bobby is the expert. Every single batch goes through over 2 ,000 safety and quality checks plus third-party testing for heavy metals before it ever leaves their U.S.

22:38facility. If you want to feed with confidence too, head to HiBobby.com. That's HiBobby.com, B-O-B-B-I-E, to find the formula trusted by parents and loved by their babies, 700 ,000 and counting. so but to bring the train back on the tracks on the passy what i had her do is when we wake up i either have her give me the passy and i put the passy in the bed or i have her put the passy in the bed and it's now very much turned into it actually kind of goes both ways sometimes she'll put it in either time she'll have to give it to me but it it really works and we've made it it's like a bit of an activity and this morning we this morning like do you want me to tell like two kind of stories of how this has played out yeah tell about the passy falling out on the crib and how she went to get it okay so yesterday we were in her room because we were getting her shoes and she saw the bb on the floor and she sprinted towards the bb and she uh put it got it dunked it over the crib and then waved at it and i was like oh my goodness i'm so happy because i thought she was running to grab it uh today though was a bit of a different story where she's now spending a little more time in her crib when she wakes up before when she calls for us and i saw her wake up this morning and and she was hanging out in there and then when i heard her making noise the reason why she was making noise was because the passy fell out of the crib so i think that like part of why she kind of likes hanging out in the bed right now is because like she's getting her passy time which i think is pretty funny but um so i go in there and i she's pointing bb and i pick so i take her out of the crib and i i like uh mission impossible her down to pick up the BB.

24:41Yeah. And she picks up the BB right in her mouth. I'm like no, no, no, Tate. BB goes in the crib. And we probably had a three to four minute standoff. And I just, I wouldn't, I was just standing by the crib. I'm like, bubber. BB in the crib. Did she do it? Bye, bye, bye. BB in the crib. And I just kept putting my hand there. And then, yeah, after like three minutes, she that was a time where she didn't put it back in she put it in my hand not a big cry little noise and put it down and then she waved and it was it was smooth i don't know how interesting or boring that is i assume most people would find that story quite boring and and you know nothing crazy to it but it was it's been a very nice learning moment for us and i think how it all ties together is like what we've learned so much of is like when we bring her in on the process that makes things so much more effective versus like when we just draw a line and that that's when we have our challenges well i've even noticed like she eats more of her food when she gets to pick it she just loves because these toddlers at this age i read the other day like they think that the world just solely revolves around them right now you know And of course you do little things to let them know that that's not the way that it goes, but they can only comprehend so much.

26:10So I think meeting them halfway and saying, Hey, you get to put your pacifier in there. I'm not yanking it away from you. Gives them autonomy. And I do think it makes her feel proud. Yeah, totally. So I think it's really cute that you're doing that. And we were worried about our babysitter, Caroline, having her with the pacifier situation. And I made a tick talk about this, but she texted us. She said she just put the Patsy in there and waved at it because Caroline woke her up from her nap time. and she put her pacifier in her crib and she waved at it so i was just really proud that bubber gets it but i was gonna bring this up to you at some point i think she's spending more time in her crib because she gets like 10 more minutes with her passy which is fine i think this morning she was like tuning some like power passy sucks i said bubber i need the passy you know what would have made it take give you the passy faster what if you said please wow jules you do that whole story without saying please okay so guess guess what jules what i'm gonna pull up the nana footage and i guarantee i said please okay i guarantee because i talked to her when i talk i i say please i also the way to get it out right is shoes but her shoes i trade her the passy for shoes because if you give her shoes then she knows she goes outside so okay i'm so glad you said that because i didn't want to forget this um one question we were at like we were talking about tantrums right i was like we are at that phase and for example whenever we were done with the mini shopping cart she started tantruming and she was like i want the mini shopping cart and they don't last very long but the most liked comment was TikTok taught me you're supposed to say where's Jessica I saw this but I didn't understand it I tried to research it I couldn't find anything but then I was reading the comments below it and basically you just say where's Jessica and it just like confuses them and then they start looking for some random person named Jessica and a lot of people people were commenting saying I tried that and it worked so I think we're just gonna try next time Like she says that about something.

28:22Where's Jessica? Donde sta Jessica. We can just look for like the imaginary Jessica. Okay. We'll try it. I thought it was really funny. It is really funny. Um, okay. Harrison did a high rocks race and this is where he went last week. Obviously we talked about this. And so he went, we didn't say when he went because we don't ever tell you when he's gone. He went Wednesday night and you did the race on Thursday. And I was very nervous because I wanted you to finish the race and I wanted you to like enjoy yourself and be proud of yourself and you called me afterwards and you were just on cloud nine this is true like you and then you put he posted on his instagram the photos that the high rocks had sent him yesterday and they were there's such good photos you're smiling from ear to ear i didn't realize how big of a thing high rocks was we were looking up his next race last night they're in dubai london i mean they're it's global yeah so they They have races in 30 countries, 85 cities.

29:19So 85 races a year and 650 ,000 racers will participate this year. That's crazy. So it, High Rocks, it's not a niche thing. It's very much like what they've done is they've taken CrossFit and they've made it more attainable for the everyday person or athlete. And you did really good. So Harrison is something about him. You are detail-oriented, goal-oriented. So the night before, you wrote down your goals and you studied how you wanted to approach the race. Tell us about that. So I wasn't in as good a shape as I would have liked going into the race. And so my mindset – and it's something my dad taught me because my dad has done a bunch of different marathons.

30:09He's done marathons in every continent. Not Antarctica, right? Uh, so the Antarctica one isn't tech, isn't a major. And so he's done all the majors. Cool. Uh, but for Antarctica and this is, I, I don't want to get in trouble for now sharing something new on the pod. So his plan for a 70th birthday is for our family to run Antarctica together. They have a marathon there. Yes. There's an Antarctica marathon. It's not a major marathon though. So that's the plan for 70th That is so cool I've been meaning to talk to you about that I'm down I don't think I'll ever have a chance to go to Antarctica How do you fly there?

30:53I think you fly from Argentina But I'm not entirely sure Is Bubba going to go? I should have to That is so cool Bubba in Antarctica We'll have like three kids by then Yeah, close, around, hopefully um so so long story short like i've learned the importance of having a race strategy from my dad and it's very common but i learned it from my dad and especially important when you're not in phenomenal shape okay and so went to tiktok and there are just a couple really great high rocks education pages and they called out a couple of like massive mistakes that the athletes make when the race is going on.

31:39So the first one is people burn out after the first station. So the whole goal of High Rocks is you want to pace yourself and you don't want to shock your heart rate. Okay, can you explain? You run... Okay, good call. So there's eight stations. In between each station, you run a kilometer. People don't know what a kilometer is, 0.7 miles. 0.7 miles. So you run a total of five miles and then do eight stations. Station one is a skier. Station two is you pull a sled. Station three is you push a sled. Station four is burpee jump. Station five is rowing. Station six is farmer's carry. Station seven is weighted lunges.

32:18And station eight is 100 wall balls. And there's somebody there measuring when you're doing lunges at your knees touching the ground. Yeah. And if you mess up on anything, they have penalties. Right. So if on the sled pull, you go past the line and pulling, it's a penalty. And so on and so forth. So there were a couple stations where racers really could blow themselves up. The first one being the first station, which is the SkiErg. And the whole goal is you don't want to shock your heart. So you want to pace yourself and you don't want to spike your heart rate. And the SkiErg has the potential to do that.

32:55So I was like, all right, out of the gates, go super, super, super slow on the SkiErg. So there's a hilarious photo. So on my day, I came 161st out of 677 racers, I believe. Which is really good for not being in shape. I mean, you're in great shape. But I'm not in great shape. I'm in solid shape. Some of these guys in these photos look like The Rock. Well, I think I was in the worst 10 % shape of the racers there. And to place where you did is really good. That just gives you a strategy. So I think I placed way better than my fitness, if that makes sense. It does make sense, but that's because you had a strategy.

33:31I've never seen people that looked more athletic in my life than these racers. like at a marathon you when you look at a marathon runner you don't think like that's an athlete right when you go to high rocks it's like you look at these people's like holy shit you guys look like athletes they were jacked men and women yeah um and so i was in 611th place out of 677 after the first station wow and there's a photo of me on the skier i'm literally the last person on like I'm one of there's no one else in the photos on the Scarecrow I'm like in my heat I was actually dead last good um you're playing the long game but exactly I was playing the long game and then I just got faster and faster and faster and they got more tired more tired more tired and I yeah I felt really good um and didn't didn't really struggle with I think my time can be a lot better so I did an hour 23 minutes and the world record is 52 minutes yes albeit that's world record pro so the weights are a little heavier but the person who won our race i think was 58 minutes um okay but i think i can do a lot i think i can do a lot better than the hour 23 or 56 minutes i think the most important thing was can we check that i don't want to be like saying the wrong the wrong times i think whatever if i did just i was gonna say just don't we don't have to check it just he's just directionally that should all be right yeah he's not saying this for sure he's just trying to remember um i think the coolest thing about it is your goal before baby number like you you set your goal in january and we're almost to april and you hit your goal so i'm really proud of you yeah i wanted to and this race was symbolic of that and bigger picture like i loved it the energy was amazing just thousands and thousands of of racers were there and i i want to do more of them i want to do them more solo so i did a solo but you can do them as a group you can do them as so they have uh the men's open the woman's open the men's pro the woman's pro and then they have doubles and then they have doubles uh like doubles men doubles woman and then what's it called when you do two like different sexes like doubles men and woman where one's a man one's so alex is gonna do it i want to do one yes i'll need like a bit but i would love to but i want to do i don't want to do the problem is you i would have to run and i'm not a good long distance runner but it would be okay i could do it but yeah totally but you're so you're running five miles or you're running five miles collectively in between the stations collectively so you would be good at that 0.7 at a time you could do that i could do i could do it But yeah, so I want to do one because I just I loved like you were so happy afterwards.
