And the damage that was done to my body was gradually diagnosed, instead of immediately, so the recovery process for me was probably unnecessarily long: It took nearly two years for me to say that I could successfully walk.

Therefore, I believe that people who only row will find it harder to pull scores on the erg that are in the highest percentile.
