00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of those, because I read more

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: than once. The first time I was sixteen seventeen. I

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: got saved when I was about sixteen seventeen. Then I

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: went to college. It was in a foot race the

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: other way, a track meet to hell, I ran lead

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: off and anchor. Yeah, yeah, they handed to stick to myself.

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: That second leg I got when I got it from

38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: myself from the lead off, that second leg. Who if

39
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: they had if they had video cameras back then, you

40
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: just saw something world record. Then I got married and

41
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I tried to straighten up a little bit, and so

42
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: I slowed down. So I gave up relay racing and

43
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: just turned into a cross country runner.

44
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: Oh long long, yeah, long distance. I'll try to do

45
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: it like that.

46
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: And that didn't work out for me too well either,

47
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: And then I lost everything and became homeless and bought

48
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the relay team back out of retirement.

49
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: Retirement.

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I was doing pretty good. And then I got

51
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: remarried and then I fell off the wagon. Right then

52
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: I became a full blown, recovering alcoholic.

53
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: At that point, I didn't know what was going on.

54
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,640
