Ferry Interviews - Alex Schmitt (cap 55)

On Monday morning I cycled out to the IJmuiden ferry to interview the first few riders as they headed south. I'll be publishing some of them over the week. This is out first with Alex Schmitz (cap 55). The audio is in a mix of German and English. A transcript is included with the German translated into English in italic.

J: What's your name and camp number?

A: Alex, Alex Schmitz, cap 55

J: How are you doing?

A: Ja, es ist anstrengend. Die Taktik. In kleinen Zielen versuch Ich heute die 1350 kilometer zu erreichen. Ja, wir muessen den Koerper reinhorschen um zu schauen wie es in jene Situation doch bewerkstelligd werden kann.

Yeah, it's hard. The tactics. In terms of small goals, today I try to reach the 1350 kilometer mark. Yeah, I'll have to throw the body into it to see how this can be achieved under these conditions.

J: How much sleep did you have?

A: Every night maximum 3 hours. 4 hours rest and 3 hours sleep.

Thank you to the kind dot watcher for transcribing and translating the interview.
