947 00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:27,134 that maybe we hadn't really considered, 948 00:40:27,175 --> 00:40:30,595 but what our feelings would be around the possibility 949 00:40:30,637 --> 00:40:33,098 of not only Ricky coming back, but winning. 950 00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:35,433 The "What if he wins?" question 951 00:40:35,475 --> 00:40:37,811 was weighing heavy on everybody's minds, 952 00:40:37,853

00:40:53,285 --> 00:40:55,036 I was kind of sitting in the middle of the pack, 961 00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:57,455 knowing that when we got to those last set of lunges 962 00:40:57,497 --> 00:41:00,959 is where I'm gonna be able to make my move at the very end. 963 00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:03,295 [Sean commentating] Here comes Ricky Garard, 964 00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:06,506 who looks to increase his

the field. 968 00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:13,889 I knew that I needed to pick up my bar right away, 969 00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:16,224 if I had any shot of catching him. 970 00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:19,561 [Tommy] Ricky opens up the door and drops the lunge bar 971 00:41:19,603 --> 00:41:20,812 and has to stop. 972 00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:23,023 [Ricky] One line before the finish line, 973 00:41:23,064

down. 976 00:41:29,404 --> 00:41:31,406 [Tommy] And Justin, to his credit, 977 00:41:31,448 --> 00:41:32,991 smelled blood in the water. 978 00:41:33,033 --> 00:41:34,576 [Medeiros] I could see him in

nothing like that adrenaline rush 982 00:41:41,374 --> 00:41:43,335 of seeing that person that you need to beat, 983 00:41:43,376 --> 00:41:45,587 kind of hit that breaking point in the workout. 984 00:41:45,629 --> 00:41:48,089 And at that time, the crowd just went nuts. 985 00:41:48,131 --> 00:41:49,925 [cheering and applause] 986 00:41:49,966 --> 00:41:51,176 [Sean commentating] Medeiros is

--> 01:16:18,157 might've had a giant saturated spot 1798 01:16:18,199 --> 01:16:20,576 right at the point where you have to grip 1799 01:16:20,618 --> 01:16:22,662 with one arm to make the touch,
