The harder you work, the faster you improve. Between the winter layoff and the pandemic, I missed about 18 months leading into spring of 2021. Due to actually *getting* a pretty severe case of it, I started almost from ground zero but still managed to be at 85% by the end of the season this year. I suspect, without anything to back it up, that your 'bent legs' will come back in less time than it took to initially get them. Something about muscle memory.
