“The first time I made it all the way to the Finals, I fell in Stage 3. Last year, I got hurt in Stage 2, but still managed to finish in time to make an attempt at Stage 3.”
Said attempt didn’t get very far. Not when he couldn’t put any weight on that ankle. (Thankfully, it turned out to just be sprained, not broken. But they didn’t know it at the time.)
“This year was the first time I ever made it all the way to Stage 4. And my coach, Damien, was there. He said I had my best rope climbing time ever!”
He’d trained hard over the last three years, and the improvement was evident in his technique and the obstacles he was able to clear. The way he grinned when he talked about his time on the show, it was evident that he was in it for the sheer fun of it, not the potential prize money. Especially when he excitedly remarked, “Woah, the kids at your school train on even bigger stuff?!”
