00:00:00
I've got this severe pain on my chest. I
00:00:02
can't breathe. I'm gaspy for ears.
00:00:04
Something is wrong with me. And anyone
00:00:06
that knows me knows like I'm never going
00:00:08
to hospital, man. Like, am I going to
00:00:10
get through this type thing? Here I am
00:00:12
in what, May 25. Meant to be overseas.
00:00:16
This time of year, I'm always overseas.
00:00:18
For the last decade, I'm battling some
00:00:19
health issues. So, I uh first got really
00:00:22
ill at the end of January. Had severe
00:00:24
chest pains and struggling to breathe.
00:00:26
and every doctor I saw and everyone in
00:00:28
there was just like nothing's wrong with
00:00:29
you man. It was a a long road and I
00:00:32
finally got to see a cardiologist about
00:00:34
4 weeks later and diagnosed me with
00:00:36
pericarditis. The bad news is obviously
00:00:38
it takes me out of the year and it's a
00:00:40
long slow recovery. Everybody's
00:00:42
different but the good thing is it's
00:00:43
curable and I'll get back to 100%.
00:00:45
>> It'd be fair to say you're in the second
00:00:46
half of your career so you don't want to
00:00:48
lose a whole year.
00:00:50
>> Yeah, sure. I mean, the fact is we we
00:00:52
pretty much have in my sport, you race
00:00:54
six World Cups a year, and if you don't
00:00:56
get on the line for that first World
00:00:58
Cup, it's pretty much championship
