HOW I PUSHED MYSELF TO MY LIMIT AND FACED MY DEATH - David Goggins | London Real

and that's why when you describe yourself to people seal is down on the list you talk about all these other things you've done and that's why you kept it going with these races hmm with the hundred mile race in San Diego I'm from San Diego right and listening to that story right by the bay I think you did it right and and the craziest thing about the book is you go for this hundred mile race no training right mile mile Plex and Ritz crackers I heard this story about 16 times listen write your stuff but you said toddie point hospitality point inviting it was mild 79 or 70 70 you said that's when you had one of the most powerful moments of your life it wasn't three hou-- weeks no it was running a one-mile track over and over again in what at one of them few most beautiful climates in the world San Diego California and you found your what that's when I knew that's when I knew even through my three hell weeks and through Rangers go out I mean I've gone through all these things already and I endure so much pain already I thought man I reached the pinnacle it was on a one-mile track why why were you doing this because you were trying to be uncommon among right um I was trying to raise money for Special Operations Warrior Foundation it's a foundation that gives a hundred percent tuition to special operators kids so if if your dad died use a special operator your kid goes to school full tuition great foundation so I found a foundation it's like I got found a right to know to raise money so I found this race called bad water 135 I didn't know anything about ultra running knew nothing about it call the race director up it's all in the book I didn't have the emails in the book for me and Chris Kaufman going back and forth and he basically says you have to qualify for my race I was like 200 semi pounds I was a bodybuilder now one of the big runner I literally did 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer every Sunday that's it that's my cardio I lifted weights and that's what I did so I caught up on a Wednesday and he says you know basically to qualify for the bad water he's one hundred and thirty five hundred thirty five miles through Death Valley Valley in the summertime I thought it was a stage race where you ran like five or six days could I know that was humanly possible so I commonly Wednesday he said you got qualified there's only two more races I could do to qualify for the bad water before the deadline ended one was in San Diego Saturday so Wednesday to Saturday but three and a half days three it you know it's not a lot of time so I'm like all right I guess I'm gonna go try to do this race so I go on here have a blue lawnchair wrist crackers and mile Plex and I'm gonna see my crew person every mile and I get to mile 50 I'm really detail it perfectly in the book but at Mile 70 I'm broken I didn't train for it at all zero training for this race and but this is and I start realizing man my god man this one I realized we are not even trying because at Mile 70 I was in the worst pain of my entire life I was broken I thought my third hell week I was really bad off no there's nothing I can ever imagine being worse than this race and it was the easiest hundred mile race of everything in my life ever but I wasn't prepared and so mile 70 you know I'm literally in this chair and I'm pissing blood I'm crapping up my back I'm I'm in the worst thing in my life I'm like I need to quit I need to quit but what I did though was through my life I realized that your mind wants to quit it's called the one second decision I call it the one second decision when your mind is spazzing out it's like we gotta get the [ __ ] out of here we're miserable let's go home and that mile seventy I was there but I didn't get there ty sat down like oh my god my whole my my my blood pressure dropped I was dizzy lightheaded and the pain just came over me can my by thought I was done in my mind so I stopped and I said no way I might quit I knew I wasn't but what that might quit did was it kind of gave my mind all that damn all that anxiety and let it go can my mind so he's going to quit so we're gonna sit here for a while and this sit here we're done so I literally start to get food hydrate up and I'm dizzy I can't stand up so now after a while I stand up now so you know what I'm gonna quit but once again I knew I wasn't there's a trick to the mines you [ __ ] with your own mind that's right give answer this is black belt that's right give your mind a little bit of space because if it knows I have 30 more [ __ ] miles to go and I'm in the worst shape of my [ __ ] life my mind's gonna say no way no way dude so it's so you could give us some space say you know what if I can stand up and walk one mile this would be the biggest achievement of my life because I'm I'm deaf right now I'm deaf if I can get up and walk one mile that'd be the best day of my life I walked a mile and I won't go too deep into it all I got two miles hmm maybe I'll try three I did this tomorrow 81 yeah my 81 the person cream was like hey you know what basically I knew I wasn't going to make the time cuz I was crawling around that track crawling and this is this is the the Eureka moment this is it out of my whole life this is the one time this is when I realized that we are [ __ ] way way way cut ourselves short were saved my life thought I was gonna die never felt this kind of pain before in my life ever never again am i 81 when I knew it was gonna make the time I ran the next I read 20 miles I did 101 miles I was averaging like 10:00 10:30 coming from death being able to barely walk now I'm running 10:00 to 10:30 for the next 20 miles when I got done with that I sat back down in that chair that was now my Porta Potty and it was my ex-wife she actually backed the car up on this grassy knoll where I was kind of you know camped up at for 19 hours in six minutes I ran 101 miles ran walked 101 miles I got home I detail in the book I won't go through it well it was a horrible situation I was in the worst shape of my life passing out [ __ ] on myself peeing blood I got in the tub I had this poncho liner on because in San Diego in November is chilly so I'm freezing she puts the water on me and I'm peeing what looks like dirt it's just dark dark dark it's like dirt coming out of me and we have a discussion and she calls my mom up my mom has a doctor friend the doctor friend says you gotta get him to the hospital his kidneys are shutting down this is going on this is going on he you know he could die and this is where the story gets kind of crazy it was the best in worst feeling ahead of my life I had put myself in a situation where I was where I opened my mind to the fullest capacity to pull this off and all the pain I mean it was it was life the pain sensors were going to my body I'm in this tub in the fetal position the water is coming down on me and I'm just sitting there just jackhammering hot water hit me I'm jackhammering peeing coca-cola out of me I'm like god damn this and she has really to the hospital it was the best feeling of my entire life never looks how do you say that I probably could have died and I literally pushed myself to a place that very few human beings would ever be willing to go and I got to examine myself I call it the live autopsy where we find out why someone died after they're dead I got a chance in 19 hours and six minutes to put myself in the worst possible condition I could possibly be in and figure out how to get through it and get through it in all this pain going through it was confirmation that I had just done something that I thought was humanly impossible and I didn't wanted to go away you're reveling in that moment thinking man look what I just did look what look what the human mind can do right and from that 19 hours and six minutes I lived an entire lifetime entire lifetime people live a hundred years and never experienced the highs that low that the journey I did all of it in 19 hours in six minutes I lived a hundred years and it would and I try hard to put it in the book but no one would ever be able to really understand what that was about and I was like if I die here today I'm fine with that because I just literally pulled off something that I never thought was even humanly possible [Music] [Music] you [Music]
