1 00:00:01,430 --> 00:00:04,050 my recovery was It's been four years 2 00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:06,282 that I've been constantly in recovery . 3 00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:10,201 There's highs and lows throughout the 4 00:00:10,201 --> 00:00:12,423 whole thing , having somebody there who 5 00:00:12,423 --> 00:00:14,534 encourages you and different things , 6 00:00:14,534 --> 00:00:16,701 like the games . For example , Uh , my 7 00:00:16,701 --> 00:00:18,701 wife , my family , they've all been 8 00:00:18,701 --> 00:00:21,780 super supportive realize that this 9 00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:24,120 builds my confidence and makes me go 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,176 out and try order and other things . 11 00:00:26,176 --> 00:00:30,150 Aside from just sports . I had three 12 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:32,610 years of one salvage of ups and downs 13 00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:34,499 constantly , you know , just just 14 00:00:34,499 --> 00:00:37,520 trying to stay fit and do my job record 15 00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:41,570 once the amputation conversation came 16 00:00:41,570 --> 00:00:44,190 up and then post amputation , that's 17 00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,360 where I would say , like the lowest of 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,800 lows kind of work was just before that , 19 00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:51,120 and then post amputation for me was 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,050 just It was all up from there that led 21 00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:56,939 to me realizing how competitive I 22 00:00:56,939 --> 00:00:59,050 actually was in some of the different 23 00:00:59,050 --> 00:01:01,280 sports on . And that's when I really 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,690 kind of jumped on the opportunity to go 25 00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:04,870 trials 26 00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:10,252 cycling , archery and swimming . That's 27 00:01:10,252 --> 00:01:12,419 their my three most competitive sports 28 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:15,020 cycling just I've been on two wheels 29 00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:17,840 since I was five years old . That's how 30 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,951 the injury actually happened was on a 31 00:01:20,150 --> 00:01:23,160 motorcycle being on two wheels is a 32 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,530 natural state for me . It's all of that 33 00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:28,980 for me . Like once I start spinning 34 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,640 those pedals , everything is just so 35 00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,430 relaxing . But yet I'm pushing my body 36 00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:35,486 at the same time . 37 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,896 It's almost like a meditation . It's 38 00:01:40,896 --> 00:01:42,284 just super comfortable . 39 00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:46,912 Ultimately , I guess , like that's what 40 00:01:46,912 --> 00:01:49,023 I think I just put put headphones and 41 00:01:49,023 --> 00:01:51,190 listen to some good music , and I just 42 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:53,190 think about you know what I want to 43 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:55,301 achieve . And I just started spinning 44 00:01:55,301 --> 00:01:57,412 my legs and I don't feel the pain . I 45 00:01:57,412 --> 00:02:01,270 just think about that goal . I don't 46 00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:03,492 think of myself is deficient because of 47 00:02:03,492 --> 00:02:05,730 my injury . So regardless of what 48 00:02:05,730 --> 00:02:07,674 category I end up and I wanna beat 49 00:02:07,674 --> 00:02:10,370 everyone just bottom line , like nobody 50 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:11,250 is gonna be better than me .
