I mean, how [laughs] how emotional did you find it?

it?Yeah, I actually...

You, you know, you've hit the nail on the head there.

Slightly more emotional than I was expecting, I think s- I think's a fair representation.

Um, you know, I did a little post a couple of days ago on my Instagram, and, and I've, I've tried to keep slightly quiet about the injury for the most part, you know.

Considering every day I'm doing, you know, at least an hour, if not two hours, of rehab, extra stuff in the gym, going into training half an hour before every session.

S- Half an hour earlier than pre-pool starts, just to go by myself in the gym and do the same exercises, and I've been doing that day in, day out for six months.

Was he getting a little bit, uh, not necessarily burnt out, but a little bit fatigued by the end, would you say?

What does the intensive rehab look like for us sports enthusiasts and for those who might be carrying a bit of an ache or a pain here or there? And also, my key question is, does this affect your summer plans at all? Am I still going to be able to see you in Glasgow?

That's a very good question.

Two very good questions.

I'm not actually too sure what the intensive rehab programme does involve.

It's a full week at a rehab centre where I'll be seeing the best physios and the best strength and conditioning team and everything like that.

So hopefully really pin it down.

To be honest with you, I'm trying to put a bit of a positive spin on it, whereby I should come off the back of it with a more robust approach.

And... how are you how are you feeling about champs being on the outside of it obviously there's you know the slight shock and the slight sadness of not being able to compete because that's ultimately what you want to do you are still an active athlete but are you slightly looking forward to be able to watch on the outside do you want to completely just switch off from it do you want to be a part of it in another format or like what's your sort of process around champs this season
