His first thoughts, for the young soldier who died alongside him and for those whod helped his recovery. Its quite hard to put into words. I mean, im a product of all the people whove slightly helped me along away. So from the guys who tucked a tourniquet on my leg, to the doctors, the nurses, the physios, to the racing world. Just quite nice quiet moment to just try and take it in and think back to a few people as well. Just competing though has been a victory. For four years, the authorities wouldnt let him, fearing his Prosthetic Leg could get trapped in his own stirrup. If i had my foot in the iron and fell backwards and right, id get my toes caught like that and then be dragged, which is, you know, a pretty horrific experience.
