Short YouTube excerpt (Fortitude 365 upload) in which a single speaker (SPEAKER A) says they loved preparation more than competing, describing a love of the training grind, physical changes from training, and endurance on the track. The speaker contrasts their dedication with competitors who 'cut corners' and fared poorly.

I loved the preparation more so than the competing part. I prepared so much. I knew it was going to happen. I already know what's going to happen, but I love the grind. I love the feeling of my body changing. I love the feeling of, you know, starting out on the track and being gassed by time, seasons rolling around. I can run all day. Right. I love that process. Absolutely love it. A lot of my competitors didn't and they try to cut corners. Didn't work out too well for them.
