Uncomfortable

Today I watched the opening round of the 2020 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup…its nearly October and its the opening round. One thing I noted in the post race interviews was the riders commenting and how difficult it is is not having race at any of these intensities for almost a full year. Not to mention that it was very cold and very rainy at the event , a very muddy difficult to ride course. It has me thinking of how uncomfortable the riders must be- but then to get a world cup they are quite comfortable being uncomfortable, and have been in these conditions before. How does this relate to physiotherapy? I believe that those how have been in the discomforting position of being injured are familiar with it , they are comfortable being uncomfortable in the situation. In a way the rehab experience , is a valuable one for sport and for life.
