And so in that way, it's almost like endless opportunity when I retire.

So I'm not too scared about it.

I think I will be sad because it is something that has taken over your whole life.

And it's something that you, it is for a lot of people, sport is their first love and it was my first love.

And to let go of that, it would be quite sad, but it's not so scary.

I think you...

as a sports person this can go for any other career to be honest if you're someone who is you know doing a career for quite a long time and you know that at some point you might want to move forward from that um it's okay to be sad about it and it's okay to kind of grieve that but then there's so much more that life can offer so i think that's how i phrase it and how i look at it what people don't realize is that out of every single race out there the 400 meters is probably the worst

Yeah.

It's a quarter of a mile.

I actually would agree that 800 meters is the worst race.

Yeah.

I like a good challenge, as you can tell.

It's so funny.

You'll often hear in track and field, it's like, there's so many different events.

I think there's something like 18 and that goes, throws, jumps and run events.

um and often people go how did you pick the one that you're doing and you'll hear athletes go I didn't pick the event the event picked me okay so for me it was I started actually cross country I wanted to be a distance runner I had watched 2012 I wanted to be an 800 meter runner and then quickly learned that I have no distance bones in my body um and then went down to 400 I found it incredibly boring to be honest still do to this day it's just one lap it's it's

Yeah, it's hard and I find it boring.

And then I thought, let me add a challenge.

I'll put 10 barriers in the way.
