Today was supposed to be a standard long row, 10K, get in, move, reset the head.
But something shifted mid-session.
10K came and went.
12K sounded doable.
The hour mark was within reach…
And before I knew it, I was chasing down 17,000 meters.
17,000.
The furthest I’ve ever rowed in a single session.
And I’m delighted with that.
I didn’t plan it.
I didn’t go in with a strategy.
I just followed the rhythm, stayed present, and let it build,
until what started as a quiet mental reset turned into the longest, most committed row I’ve ever done.
A Week Worth Remembering
It’s been a hell of a week.
- Fastest ever 2,000m on Monday
- A high stakes presentation on Thursday (which went brilliantly)
- And now this: a new distance milestone, pulled from what started as uncertainty
There’s been a lot of self-doubt recently. Work stress, pressure, tiredness, old voices creeping in.
But I’ve rowed through all of it. And today, I proved to myself, again, that it’s still in me.
Meditation became a mission. The mission became mindset. And the mindset brought me here.
I’m at home now.
To rest. To be with my people.
To enjoy this one properly. And let it land.
