I guess a- as much as you're, you're feel comfortable sharing, you know, what, what has been hard about this transition and I guess just about this year specifically?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I mean, I, I think there's, there's a lot of things.

I, I probably...

I don't remember exactly what I said in Bergen, but the, um, the, the change of, of focus is definitely different, kinda going from, you know, when, when you're a college kid, anywhere from freshman to senior, you know, you got, you got your mid-season meet where you get some rest.

You got, you know, maybe you'll take a day or two for a dual meet or you'll, you know, you get some rest for Big Tens and you get some rest for NCs, and then it's like a constant, you know, sort of check-in of, of where you are, um, and sort of what's working, maybe what's not working.

You know, when you're racing at that level, it's like, okay, this is, you know, maybe I need to fix this or fix that.

Yeah.

So what's like kinda your philosophy of what works best for you when it comes to training as like a raw breaststroker?

Yeah, I mean, as, as a raw breaststroker, obviously you wanna get that breaststroke work in, but you know, y- the knees and your groin, you know, th- there's a lot of areas of breaststroke that, that it can be really taxing to do too, too much of it.

And so I, I think that it is a personal thing.

I know some people do a little bit more breaststroke here and some people do a little bit less.

It's kind of, you know, a, a personal decision.

But I, like I train, I train breaststroke primarily Monday night, um, Wednesday night, Thursday morning, a little bit of sprint Friday, and then S- and then like a full pace practice Saturday, um, would be like my main breaststroke workouts.

And then the other workouts I really don't swim it at all.

Where, where, where might that come from a- and is that part of your mentality?
