The First Home 10K

I have just finished my first 10,000 metres on the home rowing machine and I feel great. Absolutely brilliant.

There is something special about rowing on a brand new machine. This one feels smooth and buttery and just glorious compared to some of the tired commercial ergs I have used over the years.

For the record, I did not listen to Coach GPT at all today.

The sensible plan was a 30 minute fairly easy row. Instead, I set the monitor to 10,000 metres and got on with it. I kept things mostly steady but had a couple of big digs in there to get the blood properly flowing. It felt powerful and fun, not reckless.

This whole setup still feels like a huge privilege to have a Concept2 in the shed, ready whenever I am.

The best bit? When I am done, I do not have to drive home. I just step off the rower, open the door and walk across the garden.

How cool is that?

Another good session logged. This is The Sub-7 Experiment, and it continues.
