| 0:02.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:02.8 | But that's all that we did. Yeah, it really was all that I did was just it was nonstop. You don't have friends. You don't do anything. A lot of times I didn't have a school to train that either. I wasn't going to somebody's class. It was me out on my back porch with concrete and astro turf training whatever time, day and night. and you just train, train, train all throughout the week. |
