Ever since Tom Usher was a small boy, he always wanted to be a legend. While he enjoys his modern life microdosing and working an office job, he's always felt like he was born in the wrong era. So, he's decided to unplug himself from the corporate matrix and hit the road to learn from local legends in small towns, challenge them at their extraordinary skills, win and ideally achieve his life-long goal: becoming a legend himself.
In this episode of Challenge Man, Tom meets a legend who needs no introduction; Claire Lawrence, a woman who gave up her teaching job moulding the minds of the future to become a full-time professional snail racer. In a bid to overcome his long-standing fear of snails, he goes shell-to-shell with some of the fastest in the world and challenges the champion to a high-octane race.
Will his snail ¬– Hector Shellerin – manage to slither to victory, or will it be too sluggish to clinch the win?
