Nik Wallenda completed a 200-foot high tightrope walk above a highway without wearing a harness on Wednesday. It took him 9 minutes to stroll 600 feet from start to end. 

The stunt took place in Wallenda's hometown of Sarasota, Florida.  

Wallenda said it was particularly treacherous because there were no buildings to block the wind. 

But he handled it like a pro.

"Right before I step on a wire, I say a prayer with my family, give my wife and kids a hug and a kiss, and then I go to work,"he told the AP. "It's my job, it's my career, it's my passion, it's what I love to do," he added. 

Sure, just another day at the office.
