Скачать или смотреть Day 10: Learning to Dock Start Before I Turn 40

Day 10 learning dock starts and chasing a 1-minute foil pump before I turn 40.

This session was one of the hardest yet — physically and mentally.

After struggling through seven sessions, finally breaking through on Day 8, and regressing again on Day 9, I came into this session expecting to build on my jump start progress. Instead, conditions made everything harder.

It was 2°C, hailing, and miserable. My hands and feet were frozen, and nothing felt right.

Back at the higher dock that allows jump starts, I thought I’d quickly find my rhythm again. That didn’t happen. I failed 38 attempts in a row. Each miss chipped away at my confidence, and I came very close to calling it.

I decided to give myself two more tries — just to make it an even forty.

On attempt 39, something finally clicked.

I pumped on foil for 22 seconds, and more importantly, I unlocked a new sense of balance off the start. After that moment, the pumps started coming more consistently. Fatigue and the cold eventually ended the session, but the breakthrough was real.

The goal remains unchanged:
Pump on foil for 1 full minute before I turn 40 (March 15).

Progress isn’t clean.
It isn’t linear.
But it’s happening.
