Transcript

00:00 This episode of On The Line is brought to you in part by Flo.

00:03 Out here in the sea, there are no lines.

00:08 The ocean opens up herself to everyone.

00:11 For TNT sailor Andrew Lewis, his job is to conquer the ocean.

00:15 With winds of adversity blowing him off course,

00:18 and the sails of misfortune against him,

00:21 we'll tell you this story of Andrew Lewis on his road to Rio.

00:26 [MUSIC]

00:31 We're on the line.

00:32 In every sport, there's a line.

00:36 All athletes put themselves on the line for club and country.

01:28 Today I'm going to take Robert into my world,

01:30 show him how it's done in the gym, the fitness side of my life,

01:34 how I get strong, how I stretch,

01:36 and how I'm able to do what I do from the strength side of things.

01:40 And then later on, I'm going to take him into the boat,

01:42 throw him in the ocean,

01:43 and really see if this guy can really sail and see how it is to be in my world.

01:48 Well, I'm ready.

01:49 Well, I think I'm ready.

01:51 All right, so what we're going to do is we're going to get your bum on your roller.

01:56 [MUSIC]

02:06 You're going to bend a little bit,

02:08 and you're going to use your hip to thrust your whole thing.

02:10 All the way to the hip.

02:13 All right, that's it.

02:14 [MUSIC]

02:19 Throw the hip harder.

02:20 Throw the hip hard, right, harder.

02:22 [MUSIC]

02:24 Breathe.

02:25 [MUSIC]

02:31 On to the next one, one time.

02:33 [MUSIC]

02:37 You're going to hunt for a four, all right?

02:39 [MUSIC]

02:46 Ten.

02:47 [MUSIC]

02:53 Breathe, yeah?

02:54 [MUSIC]

03:01 Solid.

03:03 Solid.

03:05 Solid.

03:06 [MUSIC]

03:08 So this was a stretch and warm-up.

03:11 We eat now?

03:12 Yeah, we need some fuel, so absolutely.

03:14 Good, I like it.

03:15 [MUSIC]

03:20 This is Mr. Lano Griffith, my strength and conditioning trainer.

03:24 Pleasure to meet you.

03:25 He's the guy who's responsible for making me fit again, strong again,

03:28 and being able to put me in a position where I can actually get back in the boat.

03:31 How is that all working out for him in this whole road to Rio?

03:34 It's been going really well.

03:36 Andrew is a very hard worker, so it's been easy for me to get things done with him.

03:41 He participates well.

03:43 He's asked a lot of questions.

03:44 He's very involved in what he's doing.

03:46 I mean, everything couldn't be done without the support of the team that we work with.

03:50 He's ready.

03:51 He's ready for Rio.

03:53 So we head into the water.

03:54 All right.

03:55 [MUSIC]

04:01 There's going to be a long one out in the water.

04:04 Sun's hot.

04:05 Sure is.

04:06 We need that energy.

04:07 We need that energy.

04:08 That's what I eat, hard-boiled eggs.

04:10 I have some oatmeal for the energy, protein.

04:13 Oatmeal and protein and oatmeal together gives you a solid day of energy.

04:18 So I eat, you eat.

04:20 Bottoms up.

04:21 Cheers.

04:22 Cheers.

04:23 [MUSIC]

04:49 Right, my muscles are now loose and so is my stomach at this stage.

04:53 We've had a quick protein snack and now suited up, make our way to the water's edge.

04:58 As Andrew takes the laser out for a quick test of the conditions, I'm on the jetty thinking,

05:03 how will we both fit in this thing and can my abs take it?

05:07 Well, I quickly find out.

05:10 [MUSIC]

05:38 [MUSIC]

05:56 I'm not too sure whether I'm glad to be on land right now or whether I want to be back out there.

06:02 But it's really deceptive looking at the water here at this stage.

06:06 It's relatively calm, but when you're out there it's quite choppy.

06:09 And it's unbelievable how fast that laser goes.

06:13 It literally is, as they say, like laser.

06:15 You were able to balance yourself.

06:17 You didn't fall out of the boat while we were out there going fast, which is important.

06:20 Because as I told you, it's a lot of core and a lot of balance.

06:23 And yes, you have the strap there to help you, but it takes a lot of balance between the whole thing.

06:28 So yeah, I think you're pretty good.

06:29 You understood when to lean, when not to lean.

06:31 You got a taste of what the ropes do and how they affect the sail and affect the boat and help you power it up and depower it.

06:38 So yeah, I think you did pretty good.

06:40 You touched the line. You definitely touched the line.

06:42 I touched the line. I didn't go on the line, but I touched it.

06:45 That's important.
