Jeffrey has perfect front splits; and Lucas has perfect side splits. Part one concerns Kit’s personal journey through middle-distance running, Olympic lifting, dance school (the worst student!), and the two year period where he trained in a pro. boxing gym, and worked the door of a nightclub in King’s Cross.
