1
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,800
[Bear Grylls] Previously,
on the World's Toughest Race...
2
00:00:07,883 --> 00:00:11,846
Over the past 7 days,
adventure racers from around the world
3
00:00:11,929 --> 00:00:14,140
have pushed themselves
beyond human limits.
4
00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:17,268
That was, like, surreal to me
what me and my twin have done.
5
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:20,229
[Grylls] In an attempt to tackle
this terrifying race course,
6
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:22,106
teams have suffered severely.
7
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:23,190
That was so hard.
8
00:00:23,274 --> 00:00:26,360
[Grylls] Elite athletes have been put
to their ultimate test...
9
00:00:26,444 --> 00:00:29,947
Arriving to a limit in my mental
and physical strength.
10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,993
And some have even been forced
to overcome their own personal demons,
11
00:00:34,076 --> 00:00:35,327
just to stay alive.
12
00:00:35,411 --> 00:00:39,790
I really went from being one of the top
female Ironman athletes in the world
13
00:00:39,874 --> 00:00:42,001
to contemplating ending my life.
14
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:46,255
[Grylls] Team after team have fallen victim
to Fiji's brutal environment,
15
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:49,091
giving them no choice but to exit the race,
16
00:00:49,175 --> 00:00:53,888
leaving only 49 out of 66 teams
still on the racecourse.
17
00:00:53,971 --> 00:00:58,392
Teams have been racing
for over 150 consecutive hours
18
00:00:58,476 --> 00:01:01,854
and are currently spread out
across 200 kilometers
19
00:01:01,937 --> 00:01:06,066
of Fiji's unrelenting jungles,
mountains, and oceans.
20
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:07,401
[ cheering, applause ]
21
00:01:07,485 --> 00:01:09,695
Only three teams have crossed
the finish line,
22
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:11,739
and all teams remaining have one goal...
23
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:16,076
Survive and finish
this unprecedented expedition.
24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,248
And while most teams in the back of the pack
decided to sleep at the base of Vuwa Falls
25
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:22,958
to avoid climbing in the dark...
26
00:01:23,042 --> 00:01:25,586
I don't think we should go up, personally.
27
00:01:25,669 --> 00:01:26,796
Because we'll get hypothermic.
28
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:31,801
Team Iron Cowboy charged ahead
to brave the gutsy climb at night.
29
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:48,067
Yeah. I'm set. I'm ready. I'm excited!
30
00:01:49,026 --> 00:01:50,319
I've been training for this.
31
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:54,615
[Grylls] Vuwa Falls is
a terrifying thousand-foot climb,
32
00:01:54,698 --> 00:01:58,035
known to be one of the most strenuous
points on this racecourse,
33
00:01:58,118 --> 00:02:01,664
and Team Iron Cowboy
is taking a big leap of faith
34
00:02:01,747 --> 00:02:05,334
by attempting this death-defying ascent
in complete darkness.
35
00:02:10,673 --> 00:02:13,092
Never done one of these...
36
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:16,804
so, taking it step by step.
37
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:22,393
In our group, we've done 125 Ironmans,
38
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:24,645
so, we've got a lot of experience mentally.
39
00:02:24,728 --> 00:02:27,815
We're a gritty... gritty little group here.
40
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:29,775
This is winning...
41
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:32,862
in the back of the pack.
42
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,740
But this is my jam. I love this stuff.
43
00:02:37,283 --> 00:02:41,120
It's like, really active, mind work...
44
00:02:41,203 --> 00:02:44,582
and I'm loving pretty
much every second of it.
45
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,882
[Grylls] While Sonja thrives
climbing the falls,
46
00:02:52,965 --> 00:02:54,967
her teammates struggle to keep up,
47
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:58,262
falling further and further
behind their team captain.
48
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,974
This is the scary part for me.
49
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:03,601
In the dark...
50
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,102
tired...
51
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,562
frustrated.
52
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,071
None of us have...
53
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:18,282
extensive climbing experience.
54
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:22,870
We're learning how to adventure race
in the toughest race on the planet.
55
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:28,834
This is the part we were pretty much
worried most about.
56
00:03:28,918 --> 00:03:32,379
We've been doing it for four hours.
57
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:34,924
Pretty exhausted at this point.
58
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:47,937
[James] This is a sufferfest.
59
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:52,232
Every step along the way,
somebody else rolls up
60
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:54,716
and did what they needed to do
to get everybody else through.
61
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:01,450
I loved every rope.
62
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:04,244
It was awesome.
63
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:06,080
Tell me this is the top.
64
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:07,790
[ laughing ]
65
00:04:07,873 --> 00:04:10,084
Yes! Woo!
66
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:12,753
[Sonja] Yeah!
67
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:17,424
Just patience and resilience, and one
by one, we made our way up to the top.
68
00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:19,093
Yes!
69
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:22,388
- [Sonja] Woo hoo!
- Woo hoo!
70
00:04:22,471 --> 00:04:24,431
[Sonja] Oh, wow.
71
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,102
[ kiss ]
72
00:04:34,358 --> 00:04:37,236
I just hope my family's proud of me
when they see it all.
73
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:41,115
They helped me get up that, actually.
74
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:44,451
First breakdown of the race
right there, guys.
75
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:58,590
[Grylls] Over 170 kilometers ahead
on the racecourse,
76
00:04:58,674 --> 00:05:01,135
lead teams are on the final ocean leg,
77
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:04,471
which is where the winning teams
had major trouble yesterday.
78
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:08,017
Each of these lead teams are fighting
for their top 10 position,
79
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,104
along with the bragging rights of finishing
the World's Toughest Race.
80
00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:18,360
This ocean is definitely starting
to get rougher.
81
00:05:18,444 --> 00:05:19,945
There are teams on the water.
82
00:05:20,029 --> 00:05:23,657
Boy, are they gonna be feeling it
at this stage.
83
00:05:23,741 --> 00:05:26,910
When the sea is this far out,
it starts to get rough.
84
00:05:26,994 --> 00:05:29,246
It is going to be harrowing.
85
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:33,459
You know, trying to paddle one of
these small boats through thick waves,
86
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:34,793
against the wind,
87
00:05:34,877 --> 00:05:38,297
it's gonna be a whole world of pain
for these lead teams.
88
00:05:41,425 --> 00:05:45,763
[Emma] We wanted to arrive in the top 10,
and that's, for me, it's enough.
89
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:49,892
My body is completely out.
Run out of energy and everything.
90
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:52,352
We just fight for finish.
91
00:05:52,436 --> 00:05:54,229
All the countries are here.
92
00:05:54,313 --> 00:05:56,482
The best teams of the world.
93
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,901
So, it's the world championship.
94
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:00,986
So, the level is so high.
95
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:02,321
And it's perfect.
96
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:08,702
The weather,
it's a very big element in this race.
97
00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:11,997
And, uh, it's like, quite demanding for us.
98
00:06:12,081 --> 00:06:14,291
I've never done it on an outrigger.
99
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:17,836
I think they're moving the island.
100
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,255
It just didn't seem to ever
want to get any closer.
101
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:27,471
But, meanwhile, back on the main island,
102
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:31,391
the majority of the teams
in the World's Toughest Race
103
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:34,061
are still fighting for every inch,
104
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:37,147
and they are not having a good time.
105
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:39,775
That's where we're heading now,
to see how they're getting on.
106
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:42,444
They are really in the hurt locker,
many of them,
107
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:46,448
and they're getting
to the toughest part of the race.
108
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:52,037
Over 100 kilometers back,
109
00:06:52,121 --> 00:06:57,000
Team Flying J are dealing with one of
the most pivotal spots on the racecourse...
110
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,878
The infamous pools above Vuwa Falls.
111
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:02,673
The rocks are slippery,
the bushes impenetrable,
112
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,508
and the water freezing.
113
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:07,177
Thank God we didn't do this last night.
114
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,762
Oh my God.
115
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:10,472
That would have sucked.
116
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:11,807
I'm Dianette Wells.
117
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:13,976
I'm the team captain of Team Flying J.
118
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:17,938
The incredible men I'm racing with,
are Guy LaRocque.
119
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:20,107
I've done many bike races with him.
120
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,943
My next guy is a former Navy SEAL.
121
00:07:23,026 --> 00:07:25,028
His name is Harald Zundel.
122
00:07:25,112 --> 00:07:30,033
He's the calmest, coolest,
most collected beast out there.
123
00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:32,369
And then Blain Reeves.
124
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:36,999
And Special Ops won't really tell us
exactly what he does for the Army,
125
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:42,921
but, you know, he's a badass,
and I'm so happy to be racing with him.
126
00:07:45,924 --> 00:07:47,509
Didn't expect this...
127
00:07:47,593 --> 00:07:50,804
long swim, early in the morning.
128
00:07:50,888 --> 00:07:53,140
It's a little cold.
129
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,186
Feeling Fiji.
130
00:07:57,269 --> 00:07:59,688
[Dianette] I'm one of the few
female team captains out there,
131
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:01,982
and I'm 53 now.
132
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:03,942
I have a lot of wear and tear.
133
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:09,531
But I'm nervous about
just keeping my mates just calm,
134
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:11,116
and letting nothing faze us.
135
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,202
You know, just like being a mom.
136
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:15,162
[ breathing heavily ]
137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,128
Harald, he was falling all over the place
in the water.
138
00:08:23,212 --> 00:08:27,382
And by this time, I was just so cold,
because we'd been going so long.
139
00:08:28,592 --> 00:08:31,637
- Our swim's almost over.
- Yeah.
140
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,180
I can see the end.
141
00:08:33,263 --> 00:08:35,599
Being in the jungle
and you're constantly wet,
142
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:39,144
the cold is unbelievable and unbearable.
143
00:08:39,228 --> 00:08:40,771
It's the coldest I've ever been.
144
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:50,447
- [ sighs ]
- How slippery are these roads?
145
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:53,116
[ chuckles ]
146
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,955
The... It's so hard to stand,
it's like being on ice without...
147
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:01,124
without ice skates or
clamp-ons or anything.
148
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,794
[ groans ]
149
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:07,005
It's worse... it's worse than ice.
150
00:09:07,089 --> 00:09:08,507
Uneven and flat.
151
00:09:11,176 --> 00:09:13,136
[ straining ]
152
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,389
[Dianette] I think you're past the point
of stitches, right?
153
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:17,391
No, I need stitches.
154
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:20,269
[Dianette] Doesn't it have to be
within a certain time?
155
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:22,688
- [Dianette] It just reopened.
- Yeah, it did reopen.
156
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:25,065
On the bouldering section
going up the river,
157
00:09:25,148 --> 00:09:28,568
I slipped and banged up my shin
up at the rock,
158
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:32,781
and I split... split it open, so I could
see the flesh almost to the bone,
159
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:35,242
and I'm like, "Oh... not good."
160
00:09:35,325 --> 00:09:40,414
Um, so we put a butterfly stitch on it
and some duct tape,
161
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,708
to, uh, you know, stop the bleeding,
162
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:46,712
and I'll get it checked out
at, uh, Checkpoint 23,
163
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:50,674
when there's a full medical staff,
because it is swollen right now,
164
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:53,385
so, I'm worried about infection
more than anything else right now.
165
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:58,515
It's a new day.
We're just ready to get moving, you know?
166
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:02,894
The finish line is in sight now,
and that's where we're headed.
167
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:18,994
[Grylls] 28 kilometers behind Team Flying J
are the back-of-the-pack teams,
168
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:24,041
who are fighting for every inch
on this racecourse just to stay alive.
169
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:27,669
They now have to tackle
the towering Vuwa Falls.
170
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:34,217
We're about to go and climb that.
171
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:37,512
I'm about to cry. [ laughs ]
172
00:10:37,596 --> 00:10:39,306
It's giving me goosebumps.
173
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:42,142
We have been waiting for the waterfall.
174
00:10:42,225 --> 00:10:46,104
Like, I was like, if I was to just make it to
the waterfall during the whole expedition,
175
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:47,439
that would be epic.
176
00:10:47,522 --> 00:10:51,276
This is Day 7, and we finally made it
to the climbing section.
177
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,111
So, we are pumped, like,
we just want to do this,
178
00:10:53,195 --> 00:10:54,780
and, like, have some fun up there,
179
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:58,617
in the slopes, and, yeah,
get some arms working.
180
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:04,039
Wow.
181
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:06,124
This is so unbelievable.
182
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:10,128
I feel like crying.
183
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:13,632
Vuwa Falls was just...
Ah, it was so surreal.
184
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:17,219
Even though it was cold up there, that was
definitely one of the high moments.
185
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:26,186
I've, uh, always heard about this place.
186
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:27,687
Vuwa Falls.
187
00:11:27,771 --> 00:11:31,274
My mom's from this province,
a village not far from here,
188
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:33,026
but I never grew up here.
189
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:36,405
This is... my home. My home.
190
00:11:37,614 --> 00:11:40,242
The best morning of my life.
191
00:11:40,325 --> 00:11:41,827
Woo!
192
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:48,625
Even I live in Fiji, I've never seen
193
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:51,169
beautiful things like this in Fiji.
194
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:55,841
So... yeah. [ laughs ]
195
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:57,509
What a great experience.
196
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:05,684
For the two Fiji teams to experience
some of the places that we don't even go,
197
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:07,327
I think if it wasn't for Eco-Challenge,
198
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:10,522
we'd never have seen
all those beautiful places.
199
00:12:21,032 --> 00:12:22,325
This was amazing.
200
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,619
It was.
201
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,255
[Grylls] 20 kilometers ahead,
202
00:12:35,338 --> 00:12:39,050
18-year-old Hunter and his dad,
from Team AR Georgia,
203
00:12:39,134 --> 00:12:42,888
are halfway between Checkpoint 23
and Checkpoint 24,
204
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,098
as they make their way to Camp 4.
205
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:49,394
My dad started racing
probably three years prior to me starting,
206
00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:51,897
and I was always out
there, helping him out,
207
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:54,191
and I was like,
"Why can't I do this race with you?"
208
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:57,027
So, started racing when I was 7
and never stopped.
209
00:12:57,110 --> 00:13:00,238
[Grylls] This section of the racecourse
is grueling.
210
00:13:00,322 --> 00:13:03,700
Teams must navigate 16 kilometers
on paddleboards
211
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:06,995
through lakes, rivers, and tributaries.
212
00:13:07,078 --> 00:13:10,624
And over the last few hours,
water levels have subsided,
213
00:13:10,707 --> 00:13:15,629
making navigation hard and causing
extensive problems for the teams.
214
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,548
So, this is the stream,
but it looked like a dead end.
215
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:23,386
- Apparently not.
- We've been going west.
216
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:27,265
One of the things that I really want to make
sure that I don't do is let my team down.
217
00:13:27,516 --> 00:13:29,643
And I have to get through that mentally
throughout the course.
218
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,645
I am the navigator.
219
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:34,064
So, I'm gonna have to really stay focused,
220
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:37,776
and the mental game is very important
in adventure racing.
221
00:13:37,859 --> 00:13:39,569
And your team has to work together
222
00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:42,989
to coach themselves at the right pace,
at the right time,
223
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:44,407
to make sure that you finish.
224
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:48,995
You're going to go directly there
from where the rapids were.
225
00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:51,331
Let's see how far this goes
until it shallows out.
226
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:53,333
I know what you're saying.
I know where the point is.
227
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:56,378
But, um, if there's no water, it doesn't...
You know...
228
00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:59,589
We might have to put in
right there at the end to cross this river.
229
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:02,384
I think it would be quicker
to port it right now.
230
00:14:03,134 --> 00:14:04,970
I think this is really slow-moving.
231
00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:06,346
We're second-guessing.
232
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:07,681
If we just...
233
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:12,018
He knows where we are. We just need
to point in that direction and go...
234
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:13,520
is my vote, but...
235
00:14:15,063 --> 00:14:17,482
we all have to agree... so...
[ laughs ]
236
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:19,442
The fun of teamwork here.
237
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:23,363
[Jeff] What do you see?
238
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:26,950
It's a big bank,
and it looks like it goes that way.
239
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:29,119
Hunter, this is the direction.
We want to go right that way.
240
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:31,997
Yeah, it looks like
there's something there.
241
00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:34,833
There's no easy part of this race.
242
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:37,294
You don't realize how tough the terrain
actually is here,
243
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:42,090
because we realized the last 20%
of every single leg is the hardest.
244
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:44,676
All of a sudden,
you're on a standup paddleboard,
245
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:46,011
and then you run out of water.
246
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:48,847
[Jeff] Where are you trying to go, Hunter?
247
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:52,267
I think that way, but I don't have the map,
so I'm just listening to him.
248
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:55,395
It kind of goes along that shore there...
249
00:14:56,521 --> 00:14:59,899
but the problem is, these high points
over here don't exist on the map.
250
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,069
If we get out, Dad...
251
00:15:03,153 --> 00:15:06,823
that looks like there's a trail that
follows the river all the way down.
252
00:15:07,532 --> 00:15:09,701
I think one of our big problems
is just agreeing
253
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:13,580
and three of us wanting to do one thing,
one of us wanting to do the other,
254
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:16,708
but we're kind of having a
little tension there. [ laughs ]
255
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:27,177
[Grylls] 16 kilometers behind AR Georgia,
Team Flying J is at Checkpoint 23
256
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:29,804
seeking medical attention on Harald's shin.
257
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:33,183
His cut is deep, and signs of infection
are imminent.
258
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,435
[Dr. Carachi] Okay.
Uh, which one's the worst one?
259
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:36,978
- This one.
- So, this one there.
260
00:15:37,062 --> 00:15:38,813
Alright, so, you want to swing your legs
around here?
261
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:39,773
Sure.
262
00:15:39,856 --> 00:15:44,736
This is a... a tough environment to
race in, and there's a lot of bacteria,
263
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:46,859
there's a lot of infection around
through the river,
264
00:15:46,905 --> 00:15:48,531
as they're paddling in the sea.
265
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:52,619
In the bouldering section, I slipped off
of many slippery boulders
266
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:57,207
and smashed it right onto another boulder,
and it just opened up,
267
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,084
created a little gap.
268
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:00,502
Thanks.
269
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:06,758
Yeah, it's a point of
2.5 centimeters there.
270
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:09,678
It's full thickness, so it's all the way
through the skin there.
271
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:13,598
It also looks as if it's got the beginnings
of infection right there as well.
272
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:20,397
[Grylls] After injecting
a local anesthetic,
273
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,151
the doctor must close the gaping wound
with stitches to prevent further infection,
274
00:16:25,235 --> 00:16:28,196
with the hopes that Harald
and his team, Flying J,
275
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:30,657
can continue to the finish line.
276
00:16:36,371 --> 00:16:38,123
I can feel that.
277
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:39,708
[Dr. Carachi] Do you want me
to put more local in?
278
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:42,669
- Mm, yeah, maybe.
- Yeah.
279
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:53,012
The wound shows early signs of infection.
280
00:16:53,096 --> 00:16:55,390
However, I felt that the best option
281
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:59,144
was to give it a good, clean scrub
as best as possible,
282
00:16:59,227 --> 00:17:03,064
and to try and prevent any further
infections from getting in.
283
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:16,119
The fact that it's infected
will make wound healing very difficult.
284
00:17:18,997 --> 00:17:20,540
[Harald] I am worried, but I also know
285
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:23,168
that we're getting closer and closer
to the finish line, so...
286
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:27,255
I'm going to follow the doctor's advice,
take the medication,
287
00:17:27,338 --> 00:17:29,507
and just keep on pushing forward.
288
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:31,968
Flying J's gonna finish the race.
289
00:17:39,267 --> 00:17:43,855
[Grylls] But ex Navy SEAL Harald isn't
the only one on Flying J who's struggling.
290
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:46,608
His teammate,
Ironman athlete Guy LaRocque,
291
00:17:46,691 --> 00:17:48,026
is barely hanging on,
292
00:17:48,109 --> 00:17:51,571
as the race takes its toll
both mentally and physically.
293
00:17:51,654 --> 00:17:54,741
Oh, it's been tough for me
the last couple days.
294
00:17:54,824 --> 00:17:57,202
I've... I've, uh...
295
00:17:57,285 --> 00:18:02,874
This... this team has, uh,
basically held me through everything.
296
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,461
The one thing about Eco is it...
297
00:18:06,544 --> 00:18:11,090
it's designed to... turn you inside out.
298
00:18:11,174 --> 00:18:13,843
You just never know when
your day is coming.
299
00:18:13,927 --> 00:18:17,180
And what day is that going to be?
300
00:18:20,391 --> 00:18:21,851
For me...
301
00:18:24,479 --> 00:18:25,730
yesterday...
302
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:27,899
today.
303
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:33,988
I can't let these lay down.
304
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:37,242
We've come too far, man.
305
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:02,642
[Grylls] Less than 5 kilometers
behind Flying J,
306
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:06,062
and in the middle of the 8-kilometer swim
through the icy pools,
307
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:09,315
Team Iron Cowboy is nearing
their breaking point.
308
00:19:09,399 --> 00:19:12,318
I don't do well in cold,
and, so, swimming in the pools
309
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:15,238
and navigating all of the rock fields
in the water,
310
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:18,491
that seemed like it was
just never gonna end.
311
00:19:18,575 --> 00:19:21,452
Very cold, very long.
312
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:23,538
Very wet trek.
313
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:30,420
I loosened all the straps on my pack,
314
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:33,172
let the waist belt off
and the chest belt off.
315
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:35,633
Loosened the shoulder straps.
316
00:19:35,717 --> 00:19:37,093
Game changer.
317
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:39,429
[Grylls] In order to prevent hypothermia,
318
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:42,849
Sonja has come up with a method
of tying the backpacks
319
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:45,310
in a way that makes it easier to swim.
320
00:19:45,393 --> 00:19:48,146
I'm just gonna get you swimming,
so you can warm up.
321
00:19:48,229 --> 00:19:49,480
- Okay.
- So...
322
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:53,359
I'm gonna put your waist band
around your waist like... like this.
323
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:54,861
Now you can swim.
324
00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:57,238
- Sweet!
- Yeah.
325
00:19:57,322 --> 00:20:02,535
[James] Sonja is an unbelievable,
strong woman.
326
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:04,579
Her heart is pure gold.
327
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:05,955
She wants to help everybody.
328
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:07,874
- Okay.
- Better?
329
00:20:07,957 --> 00:20:09,208
- Yeah.
- Sweet.
330
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:12,587
She's gone through
a lot of emotional things in her life,
331
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:17,258
massive depression, completely had a...
you know, a life meltdown.
332
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:22,805
And then this race is, uh, is her comeback.
333
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:25,183
We're gonna cross that
finish line together.
334
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:35,818
[Grylls] Only a few kilometers back,
335
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:40,949
Team Khukuri Warriors approach the start of
the hellish pool section on the racecourse.
336
00:20:42,116 --> 00:20:43,952
You're okay? Look, you're still smiling.
337
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,623
So many teams are out of this race.
You have no idea.
338
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,249
- Oh, really?
- So many teams.
339
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:52,835
And this is the section that breaks people.
340
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,005
So, you're here, you're smiling,
you're together. Good job.
341
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:57,799
Bear, he's such an inspiration.
342
00:20:57,882 --> 00:20:59,968
And just to hear him speak,
343
00:21:00,051 --> 00:21:03,429
it just changes so much
about our own perceptions and beliefs,
344
00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:05,223
about what humans can do.
345
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:07,100
That section was super hard.
346
00:21:07,183 --> 00:21:09,686
It's gonna get cold and difficult
in this next bit.
347
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:13,106
But get through it, and then
it's all heading down to the end.
348
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:15,149
- We're game.
- [Grylls] Okay. Go, go, go, go, go.
349
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:18,861
He's out to see and look deep
into our own soul
350
00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:21,781
and make the most of our
physical abilities.
351
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:24,909
- Come on, India!
- [Praveen] Come on, India, get to work.
352
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:34,043
[Grylls] 25 kilometers ahead,
353
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:38,089
AR Georgia are still desperately trying
to locate Checkpoint 24,
354
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:42,510
after losing valuable time being
totally lost on their paddleboards.
355
00:21:42,593 --> 00:21:47,306
If they don't find their bearings soon,
the consequences could be disastrous.
356
00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:49,392
When team dynamics break down,
357
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:52,729
it's only a matter of time
before more mistakes are made.
358
00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:54,647
What about that way?
359
00:21:54,731 --> 00:21:56,232
- Dad.
- Huh?
360
00:21:56,315 --> 00:22:00,361
There's a bunch of logs in the river
anyway, so you have to get out.
361
00:22:00,445 --> 00:22:02,238
Yeah, I see what it does.
362
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:05,825
So, we all have our, like, ideas, and
we're not the ones who look at the map, so,
363
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:09,620
ultimately, you have to rely on the
navigator and not argue too much,
364
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,956
'cause that just brings their
confidence down, and that doesn't help.
365
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,959
So, these are all footprints
leading this way...
366
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:22,008
and my gut and my map and my distance
tells me that our checkpoint's over there,
367
00:22:22,091 --> 00:22:24,761
but, uh, just because
you're on a SUP board,
368
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:26,846
doesn't mean that you're paddling
the whole way.
369
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:28,931
Alright, so, what we've got
370
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:33,186
is we've got a whole bunch of fin marks
on the ground, people dragging.
371
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:37,648
We've got footprints,
all toes leading that way. Make sense?
372
00:22:37,732 --> 00:22:38,816
It's only a K.
373
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:42,028
- So, are you guys doing now what you'd...
- [ laughs ] Yeah.
374
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:45,364
Sometimes, it just...
takes some time... [ laughs ]
375
00:22:45,448 --> 00:22:46,699
to try it.
376
00:22:46,783 --> 00:22:50,620
So... yes. [ sighs ]
377
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,792
I don't mind mud.
378
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,878
I don't like it when it's mixed in
with cow dung.
379
00:22:58,961 --> 00:23:03,508
You can't eat, you can't drink,
'cause you can't touch yourself.
380
00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:04,842
[ flies buzzing ]
381
00:23:08,805 --> 00:23:10,181
Whew! That smells good.
382
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:15,269
Oh, ha, ha, ha!
383
00:23:15,353 --> 00:23:17,063
Perfect!
384
00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:19,065
Perfect!
385
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:21,234
I wasn't paying attention.
386
00:23:21,317 --> 00:23:22,568
Ugh.
387
00:23:23,778 --> 00:23:25,238
Hey, bula!
388
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:26,739
We're lost!
389
00:23:26,823 --> 00:23:28,783
Do you know where the road is?
390
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:30,701
Yeah, yeah, yeah! ...to the road.
391
00:23:30,785 --> 00:23:32,286
- I'm going that way?
- Yeah, yeah.
392
00:23:32,370 --> 00:23:34,622
Perfect, thank you. Bingo.
393
00:23:34,705 --> 00:23:37,416
Always double-check where you're going.
Always.
394
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:39,252
[Katie] Through the cow pies.
395
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:46,217
Alright! Welcome to CP 24, guys.
396
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:47,760
You guys look a little muddy there.
397
00:23:47,844 --> 00:23:49,137
[Katie] Yeah. [ laughs ]
398
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:50,721
I would say that's more poopish.
399
00:23:50,805 --> 00:23:53,057
- [ laughing ]
- More cow poop.
400
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:54,976
You would not be wrong.
401
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:57,854
Just because we're mountain biking,
doesn't mean we're on a mountain bike.
402
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:01,065
Just because we're on a SUP board doesn't
mean we're going to be on the board.
403
00:24:01,149 --> 00:24:05,069
Just because we're in a, you know, a sailboat
doesn't mean we're going to get wind.
404
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:07,864
That's what the Eco-Challenge
is all about, so... [ sighs ]
405
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:12,702
And dirty feet.
406
00:24:22,795 --> 00:24:27,008
[Grylls] Over 180 kilometers ahead,
and days ahead of AR Georgia,
407
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:28,801
the frontrunners are nearing the end
408
00:24:28,885 --> 00:24:35,391
of the killer final 45-kilometer open-ocean
outrigger paddle towards the finish line.
409
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:47,195
[Tom] We have a saying in New Zealand.
"If you're not first, you're last."
410
00:24:47,278 --> 00:24:49,947
And it's sort of how we feel finishing.
411
00:24:50,031 --> 00:24:52,742
Definitely, being a small nation,
there's a lot of pride
412
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:55,494
in our sporting legacy
and history over the years
413
00:24:55,578 --> 00:24:58,414
and everything New Zealand does.
414
00:25:01,584 --> 00:25:03,336
[ laughter ]
415
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:06,631
[ applause ]
416
00:25:06,714 --> 00:25:09,008
- [ cheering ]
- You finished!
417
00:25:09,091 --> 00:25:10,343
Yeah!
418
00:25:14,138 --> 00:25:18,434
I just finished the toughest
race in the world. [ laughs ]
419
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:21,062
It's a pretty amazing feeling.
420
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:23,022
[ cheering ]
421
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,279
- Oh, well done.
- How are you?
422
00:25:30,363 --> 00:25:32,949
Oh, I'm so excited to see you. [ laughs ]
423
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:34,075
[Bernadette] We're very...
424
00:25:34,158 --> 00:25:36,278
I mean, we've never finished,
you know, in the top 10.
425
00:25:36,327 --> 00:25:40,122
So, yeah, crossing the finish line
was certainly a bit of euphoria.
426
00:25:40,206 --> 00:25:42,625
Yeah, incredibly, incredibly excited.
427
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:44,502
We're impressed with ourselves, really.
428
00:25:44,585 --> 00:25:47,046
Woo!
429
00:25:47,129 --> 00:25:49,006
Woo hoo hoo!
430
00:25:54,178 --> 00:25:55,930
[ applause ]
431
00:26:06,482 --> 00:26:09,402
[Emma] Adventure racing,
it's not the most healthy...
432
00:26:09,485 --> 00:26:10,945
[ laughs ] activity to do.
433
00:26:11,028 --> 00:26:15,324
There were several times during the race
that I was not clear that I would finish.
434
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:18,953
This is the world championship
adventure racing.
435
00:26:19,036 --> 00:26:23,082
That's why I'm proud if I can be a reference
for the women that they can do whatever,
436
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:24,417
even if they are mothers.
437
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:28,671
You can train, you can be yourself,
you can feel powerful.
438
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:30,631
The empowered woman.
439
00:26:30,715 --> 00:26:33,301
Here, the top 10 teams, the women...
440
00:26:35,553 --> 00:26:36,887
perfect.
441
00:26:53,904 --> 00:26:57,825
Continuing down this ridge line,
wherever this ridge line terminates,
442
00:26:57,908 --> 00:26:59,577
it is steep.
443
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:02,413
The steepest is here...
444
00:27:02,496 --> 00:27:04,373
and this is less steep.
445
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:06,292
This, to me, looks passable.
446
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:07,877
Let's see?
447
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,463
[Grylls] 40 kilometers from Camp 4,
448
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:13,799
Team Curl has decided
to veer off the ridgeline trail
449
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:17,428
for a shortcut down a steep ravine
that could save them time.
450
00:27:17,511 --> 00:27:18,888
But this is a risk.
451
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:22,099
Trekking off course in Fiji
can quickly backfire,
452
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:25,186
causing a dire situation
for the entire team.
453
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:28,439
[Jennifer] Justin is the brains of the
group. There's no question about that.
454
00:27:28,522 --> 00:27:32,193
He is always five steps ahead
of any human that I know.
455
00:27:32,485 --> 00:27:37,114
And he took 150% of the
brunt of navigation.
456
00:27:37,198 --> 00:27:38,866
Where there's a will, there's a way.
457
00:27:38,949 --> 00:27:41,827
But, yeah, it could get really steep.
458
00:27:41,911 --> 00:27:43,329
I wish I was a goat.
459
00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:45,664
[Justin] Just trekking, getting up
in those canyons
460
00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:47,500
that you know few people have been in,
461
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:51,712
for me, that's experiencing the countryside
of this place that is just so raw
462
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:55,216
and so, just... it makes you feel so small.
463
00:28:02,598 --> 00:28:04,517
I don't see a trail, Jenn.
464
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,895
That's our ridge that we need to get
around, before we're gonna see the road.
465
00:28:10,523 --> 00:28:13,818
[Grylls] With many kilometers to go
until they reach Camp 4,
466
00:28:13,901 --> 00:28:16,612
Team Curl's decision
to leave the ridgeline trail
467
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,989
is turning out to be a bad move.
468
00:28:19,073 --> 00:28:21,617
We are missing the mark here.
469
00:28:22,576 --> 00:28:24,328
What the heck's going on?
470
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:29,625
I'm so confused.
471
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,253
I am so puzzled right now.
472
00:28:32,336 --> 00:28:36,215
I didn't feel too scared
about navigating too far off course,
473
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:37,925
and maybe I should have been
a little more scared.
474
00:28:38,008 --> 00:28:39,760
I mean, it shows it going straight up.
475
00:28:39,844 --> 00:28:42,346
I mean, it's hard to tell, right,
if it zigs and zags.
476
00:28:42,430 --> 00:28:44,723
But then it veers hard right.
477
00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:47,309
That's the direction of our peak.
478
00:28:47,393 --> 00:28:51,230
- Wait, where are you going to get up there?
- Well, I'm not sure.
479
00:28:54,108 --> 00:28:57,445
We have to get up and over
this band of cliffs,
480
00:28:57,528 --> 00:28:59,888
but we're just not really sure
which is the right way to go.
481
00:29:08,998 --> 00:29:10,082
I don't like this at all.
482
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:11,750
I don't mind climbing...
483
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:13,043
I mind dying.
484
00:29:13,127 --> 00:29:14,920
Ahh!
485
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:18,883
This sucks.
486
00:29:18,966 --> 00:29:23,429
[Grylls] 45 kilometers back from Team Curl
is Iron Cowboy,
487
00:29:23,512 --> 00:29:27,516
where Sonja is fiercely fighting
to keep the guys motivated
488
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,435
to hang on and stay in the race.
489
00:29:37,026 --> 00:29:39,570
See, look, there.
Here we go. Here we go.
490
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:45,784
And this is Iron Cowboy, the Americans,
digging deep now.
491
00:29:45,868 --> 00:29:49,622
This water is absolutely freezing.
492
00:29:49,705 --> 00:29:51,457
Never give up! Keep going!
493
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,756
[ Sonja laughing ]
494
00:30:00,466 --> 00:30:02,092
You can do it, guys!
495
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:03,677
You can do this!
496
00:30:03,761 --> 00:30:07,223
You haven't got much longer left
in the water, round this bend!
497
00:30:09,183 --> 00:30:12,061
This is really the heart, the crux of this.
498
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:14,438
If they can get through this,
they can do this.
499
00:30:14,522 --> 00:30:16,362
It's going to be a tipping point
for this team.
500
00:30:29,078 --> 00:30:33,082
[James] I think a race like this allows you
to really have conversations with yourself.
501
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:35,876
There's a lot of slugfesting out there,
502
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,045
where it's you and your mind
and your thoughts.
503
00:30:38,128 --> 00:30:41,590
And you're gonna find out real quick
if you like you or you don't like you.
504
00:30:41,632 --> 00:30:44,802
I think that's why I enjoy these so much,
is because I can work on me,
505
00:30:44,885 --> 00:30:48,180
and hopefully come out on the other side
a different and better person.
506
00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:51,767
[Dr. Thorne] What can we get you?
Coffee, cocoa?
507
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:54,311
[James] Yes!
508
00:30:57,565 --> 00:31:02,903
Sonja, I think you would be
an amazing professional eco racer.
509
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:04,238
No, seriously.
510
00:31:04,321 --> 00:31:06,740
Like, that's your jam, man.
It's what you love to do.
511
00:31:06,824 --> 00:31:08,617
Trust me, I'd rather be golfing
with my buddies.
512
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:09,535
[Sonja] Yeah.
513
00:31:09,618 --> 00:31:12,621
[James] I just feel like I have no business
being out here. I don't even have experience.
514
00:31:12,705 --> 00:31:14,665
I've literally almost died.
515
00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:17,710
It is these experiences that make us, like,
516
00:31:17,793 --> 00:31:21,046
really think about
what's important in our life.
517
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:23,530
You have so much time to think
when you're kind of miserable.
518
00:31:26,468 --> 00:31:30,389
Like many endurance athletes,
I have demons that I'm trying to slay.
519
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:33,142
Um, we do really hard things,
because it helps us feel like
520
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:35,436
we're maybe in control
of the things we aren't.
521
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:38,647
I will walk out of this race
stronger emotionally,
522
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:40,774
which is something
I've really been working on
523
00:31:40,858 --> 00:31:42,359
but didn't quite always know how.
524
00:31:42,443 --> 00:31:46,280
I am a tough chick. I'm super tough.
525
00:31:46,363 --> 00:31:49,783
Physically, emotionally, spiritually.
I'm tough.
526
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:52,703
And I'm... like, I'm proud of that.
527
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:54,038
I'm proud of myself.
528
00:32:04,214 --> 00:32:07,676
[Grylls] Meanwhile, just a few kilometers
behind Iron Cowboy,
529
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,095
Team Khukuri Warriors are forced to face
530
00:32:10,179 --> 00:32:12,973
one of the most brutal parts
of the racecourse...
531
00:32:13,057 --> 00:32:17,436
Attempting to swim the 8 lethal kilometers
through the freezing pools
532
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:19,897
towards Checkpoint 22.
533
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:21,607
We do this. We do this, yeah?
534
00:32:21,690 --> 00:32:23,734
We'll traverse left first...
535
00:32:23,817 --> 00:32:25,819
get to that grass section...
536
00:32:25,861 --> 00:32:27,741
go up a little. See if we
can traverse that way.
537
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:28,781
We just keep going this way.
538
00:32:28,822 --> 00:32:32,618
I remember seeing this lake that we had
to cross, and I'm like, "Holy shit."
539
00:32:32,701 --> 00:32:36,705
And Praveen and me and Nungshi haven't
done swimming without PFDs before.
540
00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:38,874
The three of us, we were
so scared of water.
541
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:41,377
Move it.
542
00:32:41,794 --> 00:32:43,796
Move your fingers and toes, guys!
543
00:32:43,879 --> 00:32:47,049
Brandon! Where are you?
544
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:48,717
Try sidestroke.
545
00:32:49,176 --> 00:32:50,736
[Tashi] I'm doing the stroke right now.
546
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:53,180
I'm doing doggy style.
547
00:32:57,351 --> 00:33:02,189
This course is breaking people,
and it's breaking teams.
548
00:33:02,272 --> 00:33:05,734
Meanwhile, those twins, still going.
549
00:33:05,818 --> 00:33:08,654
This is where it gets very real.
550
00:33:08,737 --> 00:33:12,116
This is where heroes are made.
551
00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,952
Come on, twins. You show!
552
00:33:15,035 --> 00:33:16,412
[Tashi] Keep going.
553
00:33:17,579 --> 00:33:19,415
[Brandon] Guys, you've gotta move
or you get hypothermic.
554
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:21,375
We have 3 KMs to go like this.
555
00:33:22,418 --> 00:33:24,044
If we don't move fast, we're doomed.
556
00:33:32,094 --> 00:33:35,264
[Grylls] Over 160 kilometers ahead
on this course,
557
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:37,850
a race for the top U.S. team has formed.
558
00:33:37,933 --> 00:33:41,979
Team Out There is literally chasing
Bend Racing.
559
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:44,565
They know how strong Bend Racing is
on the water,
560
00:33:44,648 --> 00:33:46,525
and they're giving everything they've got
561
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:49,653
to get to the outriggers at Checkpoint 30
as soon as possible.
562
00:33:49,737 --> 00:33:50,988
Woo!
563
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,704
About to start the last leg.
What do you feel, man?
564
00:33:58,787 --> 00:34:00,622
Last leg, I feel excited.
565
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:03,542
We've barely taken these things out
on the ocean before.
566
00:34:07,421 --> 00:34:09,173
Whose bag, is that your stuff?
567
00:34:11,675 --> 00:34:13,469
Head to the fence.
568
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:15,846
I can't still check you in
until your team is here.
569
00:34:20,809 --> 00:34:22,060
[ yells in Fijian ]
570
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:29,067
We're definitely capable of...
Of being the top U.S. team,
571
00:34:29,151 --> 00:34:32,946
so, we'll be leaning on our tenacity
and really making a big push.
572
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:35,949
We... we tend to really try
to kind of pick up steam and be steady
573
00:34:36,033 --> 00:34:37,951
when a lot of teams are falling apart.
574
00:34:38,035 --> 00:34:40,496
[Josiah] It feels good to be
this close to the finish line.
575
00:34:40,579 --> 00:34:42,372
We've come a long way.
576
00:34:42,456 --> 00:34:45,417
But I think we still have a fair amount
of paddling ahead of us.
577
00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:48,670
See if we can put, uh, one more good day
on the water.
578
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:00,349
We're almost there.
579
00:35:01,016 --> 00:35:02,016
We're almost there.
580
00:35:02,392 --> 00:35:04,186
[Grylls] Over 90 kilometers back
581
00:35:04,269 --> 00:35:07,564
and a day and a half behind Team Out There
and Bend Racing,
582
00:35:07,648 --> 00:35:10,943
is Team Costa Rica,
who are approaching Camp 4.
583
00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:14,696
But before they get there, they have
one more challenge to overcome.
584
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:18,784
[ yells in Spanish ]
585
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:21,870
[ calf braying ]
586
00:35:21,954 --> 00:35:24,706
[Eduardo] The finish line for stage 4
is there, and all of a sudden,
587
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:26,834
we're almost there,
and this bull comes out of nowhere.
588
00:35:26,917 --> 00:35:29,628
Stampeding...
"Aah!" Everybody running around.
589
00:35:29,753 --> 00:35:30,963
[ yells in Spanish ]
590
00:35:31,046 --> 00:35:32,422
[ yells in Spanish ]
591
00:35:32,506 --> 00:35:33,966
[ speaking Spanish ] The bull sees our red.
592
00:35:34,049 --> 00:35:35,609
[ speaking Spanish ] It made him crazy.
593
00:35:35,676 --> 00:35:37,135
A super scary moment.
594
00:35:37,219 --> 00:35:40,681
I'm laughing now, but, at the moment,
it was... total madness.
595
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:51,942
Bula vida!
596
00:35:52,025 --> 00:35:54,945
[Eduardo] In Costa Rica,
we have the saying "Pura vida."
597
00:35:55,028 --> 00:35:57,155
And so, we ended up saying, "Bula vida."
598
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,284
And "pura vida" means pure life,
and it means everything's awesome.
599
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,203
And I think "bula vida"
says the same thing.
600
00:36:03,287 --> 00:36:05,956
It's like, everything's great.
Everything's joy.
601
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:07,833
Bula vida.
602
00:36:07,916 --> 00:36:09,251
[ cheering ]
603
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:10,752
Bula vinaka.
604
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,964
[ applause ]
605
00:36:15,215 --> 00:36:16,842
Woo!
606
00:36:20,387 --> 00:36:23,807
[Eduardo] So, today is Costa Rica's
independence day,
607
00:36:23,891 --> 00:36:28,604
and that coincided with the toughest
section of the race for us,
608
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:32,482
and we brought our colors in a big way.
609
00:36:32,566 --> 00:36:34,568
Oh, no, where's the medallion?
610
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:36,403
Oh, what are we gonna do?
611
00:36:36,486 --> 00:36:38,030
We've got to go back!
612
00:36:38,113 --> 00:36:41,325
Hey, I'll do those rope sections 20 times.
613
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:44,286
[ cheering ]
614
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,580
I love you, Kevin!
615
00:36:46,663 --> 00:36:48,081
[ laughs ]
616
00:36:48,165 --> 00:36:52,920
[Eduardo] Having Latin blood is a big part
of why we're so joyful all the time
617
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:56,715
and why we just take positivity
as a way of life, so to speak.
618
00:36:56,798 --> 00:37:01,345
But I also think it has a lot to do with
the strong friendship that binds this team.
619
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:04,181
And in a race like Eco-Challenge,
the World's Toughest Race,
620
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:06,350
if you can't rely on somebody else
621
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:12,356
in a way that you would rely on your father
or your brother or your best friend,
622
00:37:12,439 --> 00:37:13,690
you won't have success.
623
00:37:13,774 --> 00:37:15,692
It almost feels like we finished, though.
624
00:37:20,197 --> 00:37:22,699
[Grylls] 10 kilometers back from Costa Rica
625
00:37:22,783 --> 00:37:27,287
and still trying to navigate the
50-kilometer hike to Camp 4 is Team Curl.
626
00:37:27,371 --> 00:37:31,416
They're still lost and anxiously trying
to find their bearings
627
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:33,168
before the sun goes down.
628
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:34,503
[ sighs ]
629
00:37:38,882 --> 00:37:41,176
I'm seeing the settlement
over there to the right.
630
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:42,511
[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.
631
00:37:42,594 --> 00:37:44,680
That's the direction we need to be headed,
632
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:47,140
so we can go down this road
a little ways more.
633
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:52,104
Hey!
634
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:53,438
[ distant ] Hey!
635
00:37:53,522 --> 00:37:56,525
Wainadu Creek! Go this way?
636
00:37:56,608 --> 00:37:57,734
[ distant yelling ]
637
00:37:57,818 --> 00:38:00,904
- Eh!
- Eh!
638
00:38:02,531 --> 00:38:04,157
[Brett] Steven is an excellent athlete,
639
00:38:04,241 --> 00:38:06,994
and he's just a... more importantly,
just a great human.
640
00:38:07,077 --> 00:38:09,204
His heart is as good as gold, like,
641
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:11,248
he just wants everyone
to be happy and healthy,
642
00:38:11,331 --> 00:38:14,459
and he brings everyone up around him
to better places.
643
00:38:15,794 --> 00:38:19,256
My father committed suicide
about eight and a half years ago.
644
00:38:19,339 --> 00:38:22,175
And, for me, it was a huge bomb.
645
00:38:22,259 --> 00:38:24,386
It just blew everything up.
646
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:28,640
It forced me to reconsider
everything that I was doing.
647
00:38:28,724 --> 00:38:33,854
Metabolizing all of that
is what I'm, like, here for.
648
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:39,234
I think the World's Toughest Race
is offering that to me, like,
649
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:44,781
to... to fully show up
and, like, get my ass kicked.
650
00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:47,200
That was a joke.
651
00:38:48,076 --> 00:38:49,828
[Jennifer] Worth the price of admission.
652
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:51,163
[ laughs ]
653
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:53,540
- Is that part of it?
- I was like, wait, what?
654
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:58,045
[Grylls] 30 kilometers back
and a day behind Team Curl
655
00:38:58,128 --> 00:39:01,256
is Team Khukuri Warriors
and the back-of-the-pack teams,
656
00:39:01,465 --> 00:39:03,675
who are all dangerously
close to hypothermia
657
00:39:03,759 --> 00:39:06,470
from being in the freezing pool section
for most of the day.
658
00:39:06,553 --> 00:39:07,846
Come on, guys. We can do this.
659
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:10,807
[Grylls] These middle and
back-of-the-pack teams are all struggling,
660
00:39:10,891 --> 00:39:15,520
which goes to show how relentless
and impressive the lead teams' pace was,
661
00:39:15,604 --> 00:39:19,941
who all cruised through these sections
of the course days ago.
662
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:22,905
[ Camera-man ] Are you scared of water,
you said? - Very scared of water.
663
00:39:22,944 --> 00:39:24,905
I'm going to keep my calm, yeah?
664
00:39:26,198 --> 00:39:30,368
I swam with my team without a PFD
for the first time.
665
00:39:30,452 --> 00:39:32,537
I'm not a good swimmer,
and I was like shit scared.
666
00:39:32,621 --> 00:39:34,539
I was like, "What if I drown here?"
667
00:39:37,667 --> 00:39:39,002
[Anna] The cold was terrible.
668
00:39:39,086 --> 00:39:41,838
When we had to go into the water,
that was rough. [ laughs ]
669
00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:44,800
But we're just focused
on getting to the finish.
670
00:39:44,883 --> 00:39:46,134
We're on our home soil.
671
00:39:46,218 --> 00:39:49,304
My team will finish the World's
Toughest Race Eco-Challenge
672
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:54,267
not just for us, but for everybody else
who's cheering us on.
673
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:57,395
[ struggling ] Oh, man.
674
00:40:03,944 --> 00:40:06,154
Move, move, move.
675
00:40:07,781 --> 00:40:10,075
Finally. My fear of water.
676
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:11,827
Oh! Finally.
677
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,204
[Nungshi] On a personal level,
I think it was just about my fears
678
00:40:14,287 --> 00:40:16,540
and to realize that it is temporary,
you know?
679
00:40:16,623 --> 00:40:17,833
Like, fear is in our mind.
680
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:22,045
So, if you can... move that away,
can tell your mind to control your body
681
00:40:22,129 --> 00:40:26,174
and just keep moving past these obstacles,
fear just is non-existent.
682
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:28,677
- Good morning.
- Woo!
683
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,595
[ applause ]
684
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:33,265
Oh my God. Let's go, let's go!
685
00:40:33,348 --> 00:40:35,433
Finally, there's a warming tent.
686
00:40:35,517 --> 00:40:37,310
Get your wet stuff off as soon as you can.
687
00:40:37,394 --> 00:40:39,187
- We'll get you a hot...
- [ Nungshi sighs ]
688
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:43,108
Oh, man, that was the hardest thing
I've ever done in my life.
689
00:40:43,191 --> 00:40:45,193
My mind kept telling me,
"Don't give up, don't give up,"
690
00:40:45,277 --> 00:40:48,405
which is so crucial for
my body to function,
691
00:40:48,488 --> 00:40:50,740
and I'm so happy
everything was working in sync.
692
00:40:50,824 --> 00:40:53,160
The last leg was really pushing it hard.
693
00:40:53,243 --> 00:40:55,370
Really pushing it hard, because
we wouldn't have made it otherwise.
694
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:59,124
I can't believe I'm holding
a cup of hot chocolate.
695
00:41:02,711 --> 00:41:05,088
I was, like, so proud
of Nungshi and I, like,
696
00:41:05,172 --> 00:41:07,674
we pressed through, so, I'm so glad
we got done with that part,
697
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:11,428
and if it hadn't been for us...
Each other motivating one another,
698
00:41:11,511 --> 00:41:13,180
we would have been out of the race.
699
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,612
[Grylls] 75 kilometers ahead, at Camp 4,
700
00:41:28,695 --> 00:41:31,281
Team Curl finally reaches
their destination,
701
00:41:31,364 --> 00:41:34,576
after a crippling hike that cost them
countless hours
702
00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:36,494
being lost in the highlands.
703
00:41:45,253 --> 00:41:46,713
Hey, buddy.
704
00:41:48,131 --> 00:41:50,508
[Steven] The way this thing is set up
is really cool.
705
00:41:50,592 --> 00:41:54,471
It's not only, like,
physically beating us down,
706
00:41:54,554 --> 00:42:00,352
but it's making us have to rely on
some deep parts of ourselves.
707
00:42:00,435 --> 00:42:04,940
Like, what... why the hell
am I doing something like this?
708
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:09,361
Why do I care about, like, facing suffering
709
00:42:09,444 --> 00:42:12,948
and... over and over and over?
710
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:16,660
What... like, what is it about the unknown
that's enticing?
711
00:42:16,743 --> 00:42:21,289
Relying on ourselves
and on each other, and...
712
00:42:21,373 --> 00:42:26,211
it's developing something pretty...
pretty nice inside.
713
00:42:26,294 --> 00:42:29,005
Can we do rice and quesadillas?
714
00:42:29,089 --> 00:42:31,341
Eat for a month?
715
00:42:31,424 --> 00:42:32,717
Could I get a hug too?
716
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:51,152
[ music ]
717
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:54,614
[Grylls] Over 140 kilometers ahead,
on Mana Island,
718
00:42:54,698 --> 00:42:59,953
race director Kevin Hodder anxiously awaits
the first U.S. team at the finish line.
719
00:43:06,084 --> 00:43:09,212
[ music ]
720
00:43:09,296 --> 00:43:10,839
You made it! Come on, guys!
721
00:43:10,922 --> 00:43:13,091
Woo!
722
00:43:13,174 --> 00:43:14,843
[ cheering ]
723
00:43:17,971 --> 00:43:19,222
Whew!
724
00:43:19,306 --> 00:43:20,557
We made it.
725
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,017
Mana!
726
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,355
Woo!
727
00:43:27,439 --> 00:43:29,941
[ cheering ]
728
00:43:39,909 --> 00:43:46,166
All right, guys, not only have you made
a solid top-15 finish
729
00:43:46,249 --> 00:43:48,168
in the World's Toughest Race,
730
00:43:48,251 --> 00:43:51,588
you're our first American team
to arrive at the finish line.
731
00:43:51,671 --> 00:43:54,549
- [ all cheering ]
- That was our goal!
732
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:56,343
We definitely feel like we're winning life
733
00:43:56,426 --> 00:43:58,678
for having been able to come here
and take part in this,
734
00:43:58,762 --> 00:44:01,097
and to make it through with our team.
735
00:44:01,181 --> 00:44:05,101
I just want to say thanks to Eco-Challenge
for actually putting on an event
736
00:44:05,185 --> 00:44:07,896
that allows us to not only race
737
00:44:07,979 --> 00:44:12,400
but to get to know a place in a way
that is so much deeper
738
00:44:12,484 --> 00:44:14,944
than any other event that I've ever done.
739
00:44:15,028 --> 00:44:18,865
And that makes me walk away
feeling like an actual explorer.
740
00:44:18,948 --> 00:44:22,577
[ cork pops ]
Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
741
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:24,204
Yes, sir!
742
00:44:25,455 --> 00:44:27,123
[Melissa] Don't waste it all.
743
00:44:27,207 --> 00:44:29,834
I'm just really grateful
to have had this experience,
744
00:44:29,918 --> 00:44:31,878
and I'm grateful that it's so amazing
745
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:34,672
and I'll be able to tell my kids
about it one day,
746
00:44:34,756 --> 00:44:37,926
and there's a lot of pieces that...
that are tough.
747
00:44:38,009 --> 00:44:40,845
And I'm happy
to live with those things forever
748
00:44:40,929 --> 00:44:43,556
if the experiences are as good as they are.
749
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,601
It's always the earned victory
that makes the better story.
750
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:49,521
And I think that's...
That's adventure racing in a nutshell.
751
00:44:49,604 --> 00:44:51,981
Wow, top U.S. team.
752
00:44:52,065 --> 00:44:54,025
- Crazy.
- I don't know how that happened.
753
00:44:54,109 --> 00:44:55,527
[ Melissa laughs ]

[Grylls] On the final episode
of the World's Toughest Race,
755
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:05,787
33 teams remain, with all eyes set
on one goal... the finish line.
756
00:45:05,870 --> 00:45:07,831
But for all remaining athletes...
757
00:45:07,914 --> 00:45:10,291
- Nice one!
- Can't break us yet.
758
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:12,627
Here in Fiji, nothing is a guarantee.
759
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:15,547
- [ groaning ]
- We are going to take him to hospital.
