yeah I think I mean that's just real life isn't it time passes and more things happen um yeah I've had like the injury side I think at the time and when I was younger being injured and obviously like spinal injuries are serious and scary And I had two of them, one in 13 and one in 15.
23:54
And yeah, it took me a long time, I think, psychologically to get over them.
24:00
And especially the car accident, because there's obviously the added trauma of, yeah, there being a car involved.
24:08
It's quite different from just crashing on your bike.
24:10
But I think as I've got older, I kind of recognize that.
24:17
know these injuries and um illnesses they're they're part of sport and they're they feel quite small compared to like more recent things that i've been through and yeah i think my perspective on on them has just kind of changed i'm just kind of like yeah like these things happen um yeah everyone's been through bad injuries and things um yeah like the last year I was like operating as a privateer again.
