The 20 00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:47,862 first time I was introduced to 21 00:00:47,862 --> 00:00:49,720 Strongman was when we were doing 22 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,340 crossfit , I had started tinkering with 23 00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:54,118 the idea of going back into the 24 00:00:54,118 --> 00:00:56,118 military after I'd been out for six 25 00:00:56,118 --> 00:00:58,180 years to give back after I became a 26 00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:00,291 nurse . But and I remember seeing the 27 00:01:00,291 --> 00:01:02,347 people pushing the trucks and seeing 28 00:01:02,347 --> 00:01:04,458 people flip tires and thinking , oh , 29 00:01:04,458 --> 00:01:06,624 I'm not strong enough to do that . And 30 00:01:06,624 --> 00:01:08,569 I went out there and I pushed that 31 00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:10,736 truck and my legs felt like Bambi legs 32 00:01:10,736 --> 00:01:10,630 afterwards . But I did it and then 33 00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:13,550 realizing how much your body can do and 34 00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:15,772 how strong you really are and you don't 35 00:01:15,772 --> 00:01:17,661 know how strong you are until you 36 00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:19,828 actually do .
