Meaing of this "come off"

Hi

Would you explain the underlined part?

I came off four weeks in Brazil without a strong result and I went home to reassess and do a bit of training and got really motivated. I flew over here by myself with just the goal of winning and stayed focused so it worked out."

Thank you,

M

Hi, thank you for the reply,

So is it like, "I spent four weeks in Brazil for a compatition and went back home after that"?

I'm not sure how I should take the "four weeks"

Thank you,

Hi,

So is it like, "I spent four weeks in Brazil on a competition Yes

and went back home after that"? Yes

I'm not sure how I should take the "four weeks" I was in Brazil for four weeks.

I'll just rephrase the passage, which will hopefully be helpful.

"I spent four weeks in Brazil competing [presumably at some sport], but didn't do very well, so I went home to figure out how to improve, to do some more training, and to get more motivated to compete. I flew over here by myself, focused completely on winning, and maintained my focus, so everything turned out well."

If it would be ok, would you please check another post of mine? somehow no one replied.



I hope I'm not asking you too much.
