I got the chance to sit down with the big man himself, Royce Dunne, and briefly touch on competing, the mentality to keep on going, competing at the games, being in the storm, being an athlete and a father and his two great takeaways. Small audio issues towards the end of the video did not stop us from having a good time.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
