Mark Lyons: 我参加了哥斯达黎加的 La Ruta de la Conquistadores 山地自行车赛，却不幸在比赛中被卷入激流。我不是一个擅长水性的人，在水中非常害怕，经常长时间被淹没，撞到石头，这让我非常担心自己会溺水而死。幸运的是，我最终设法抓住了一根原木，爬到了岸边。但是，我失去了自行车、手机和 GPS，身处丛林深处，没有鞋子，也没有人知道我的处境。我深知必须靠自己脱困。我筋疲力尽，身体多处受伤，但我仍然设法保持积极，并尽一切努力寻找出路。我用藤蔓爬上陡峭的山坡，尝试用树叶制作凉鞋，但都失败了。我甚至走了一个大圈，回到了起点。最终，我拖着疲惫的身体，克服了脱水和疲劳，凭借着强大的意志力，在第二天傍晚时分，终于走到了路上，并得到了救援。这次经历让我意识到生命的脆弱，也让我更加珍惜现在的生活。
