Speaker 5: to get to a house.

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 3: You had to take a couple of breaks and a breathe,

110
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: you take a knee.

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. Each each year they have an annual gut

112
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: Buster race where you run up the hill and back

00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 5: down it.

114
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: Running down the hill would be dangerous, but running up

115
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: the hills so long.

116
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,719

00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,360
