THE WOMAN who was arrested for counter-flowing and risking athletes’ safety on the IRONMAN bike course knew the dangers of her actions.
“Yes, I was aware, but I was also mindful. I didn’t cause any accident. I’m a skilled driver,” alias Kriszelle told reporters in an interview.
Her motive? “To test my limits… to become truly fearless, to prove to myself that we’re in a matrix where fear is just an illusion. Mission accomplished, I think.”
She elaborated on her concept of the “Matrix,” popularized by the sci-fi franchise starring Keanu Reeves.
“It’s designed to keep us from succeeding, to control us through fear… the system, the rules, the media, the police. It’s made by the upper class to keep the poor down, to stop them from achieving their dreams. The poor are voiceless. I’ll do it again. I have to.”
Regarding ignoring police warnings, she said, “I wanted to test the matrix. I’m sorry, but if I’m going to disrupt the matrix, that’s it. F* the matrix, f* the system, f* the news.”
Reflecting on the incident, she remarked, “I’ve learned I have no limitations. I can do whatever I want and fear is an illusion. If it wasn’t, why am I still here, breathing? Safe, even in jail. I’m okay.”
On her arrest, she commented, “I feel growth with every fear. It’s something unlike myself. For the longest time, I was unheard, ignored. This is the first time I stepped into the forbidden.”
Kriszelle further stated, “I’m calling the attention of the government. I’ve been doing a lot of things, but they didn’t want to listen. I took this responsibility, especially since this is an international event, to become a trailblazer, the voice of the voiceless, a fearless woman. Stop being scared.”
She admitted using medical cannabis for anxiety and depression but clarified she was sober during the incident since she’s now focused on healthy living, fasting, and meditation. She uses social media “to get the government’s attention, to be heard.”
She also revealed being in recovery from a 14-year toxic relationship, currently focusing on “moving up” through meditation, fasting, and other practices.
