I Almost Don’t Recognise Myself

I’ve just got back from the gym, and here’s the weird thing—
I wanted to do a long row today.

I actually wanted to sit there, get into a rhythm, feel the exertion—and it was brilliant.

I found a great set to listen to, locked in, and just rowed.
10,000 meters in around 42 minutes, steady pace, low stroke rate.

And the whole time, I was in it. Present. Calm. Moving.

I almost don’t recognise myself.

This is the Sub-7 Experiment.
